GC 760 - Grief Support for LGBTQ+ Communities

Course overview

The CE course in the Diverse Populations Specialist Certification Program curriculum focused on LGBTQ+ Communities covers a comprehensive overview and review of forms of grief, including losing a romantic partner and discrimination, experienced by grievers who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, or another sexual orientation. It then explores the ways that LGBTQ+ grievers differ in coping with grief, based on their preferences and circumstances. Students learn how to support clients from LGBTQ+ communities through their grief. This Grief Support for LGBTQ+ Communities course includes readings/study from the assigned textbooks as well as a video lecture and presentation.
