Death Literacy For Practitioners

If you are a healthcare practitioner who finds yourself working with people at the end of their lives, this course is for you. Many practitioners and caregivers find themselves serving dying people without having adequate training for the kinds of quesetions and spiritual suffering that may arise in this phase of life for people.

This course is meant to fill in some of the gaps and provide a historical and cultural context to how we got to our current state of death care in the United States.
