Cultural and Gender Approaches to Grief – a Africa interest event taking place on 2018-11-23 09:00:00 in Canada
It is not uncommon to wonder how we ourselves can cope with death, but where do we even begin to help others through the process? This module will explore the different ways individuals, both men and women, express grief and adapt. We will examine the mourning traditions of different cultures and explore a number of different strategies to work through grief with the aim of increasing sensitivity and understanding which we bring to the issue of death. Learning outcomes: Discover how men and women process grief Become aware of cultural differences in expressing grief Learn different strategies to effectively process grief Become aware how different religious and cultural groups react to death Facilitator: Dr. Rob Patterson M.Div.,MRE.,D.Min.
