GC 750 - Grief Support for People of Color

Course overview

The CE course in the Diverse Populations Grief Specialist Certification Program curriculum focused on People of Color covers a comprehensive overview and review of forms of grief, including racism, experienced particularly by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), including Latinx and Asian Americans. It then explores the ways that minority races have historically coped with grief, including intergenerational trauma. Students learn how to support clients from diverse race cultures through their grief, including collective grief and vicarious trauma of victims from their own communities. This Grief Support for People of Color course includes readings/study from the assigned textbooks as well as video lectures and presentations.
