Supporting people and families at the end of life
This course approaches death and dying through the experience of people receiving care, their families and the staff supporting them. Its modules include end-of-life support, grief and bereavement, and cultural, spiritual and religious considerations. Care-worker wellbeing is also included.
The curriculum is intended for care workers, support workers and nursing assistants who want to study these aspects of sensitive, person-centred support. It keeps the focus on awareness within care settings and the people involved.
For a wider examination of loss and major life transitions, compare Managing Loss. Carers Awareness looks separately at the experiences and support needs of unpaid and informal carers.
