Considering Religious Diversity in Healthcare and Social Services

 

What is religion? How is religion different from culture? What are the correlations between religion and health? This workshop provides frameworks and distinctions for responding to religious differences among the employees and clients with a focus on provider-patient interactions.  

Religion-Informed Attitudes Toward Dying

 

Religious beliefs and religious rituals—which also intersect with cultural values and behaviors—can be complex. It may be impossible to predict how any one person or family will understand health, illness, or death. This workshop provides a practical guide to offering deeper, more compassionate, and specifically religion-competent care. 

We offer this training as a general overview, as well as a focus on a particular religion.
