CFS 560 Grief and Loss in Families

Examines grief through individual, family, and community experiences of loss. There will be an exploration and focus on relevant language and theoretical foundations surrounding loss, ambiguous loss, bereavement, and grief. We will identify and discuss historical and community-based perspectives on grief and loss, as well as self-awareness and self-care approaches. Resources available to children and families in their communities will be addressed, such as grief support programs, Hospice and palliative care, Death Cafes, Child Life, etc.
