Course Description
This course is designed to grow skills and ways to better support a person or a community during the end-of-life process. This course offers an introductory training in the physical, practical, and emotional care of the living, the dying, and the dead. We discuss who has and who doesn't have access to death care and what role we can hold while working in these racist and biased systems that exist in the United States.
The curriculum is created to offer education or continuing any person who wants to learn more about support techniques and options available related to choice; with the intention to create a space for dialogue, relationship building, understanding, and engagement. This is the start of a journey and is recommended for all people who will die, or know someone who will. This is also a prerequisite for our Level 2 class.
