Modules for People Working in Healthcare

Indigenous Cultural Safety Training

Everyone working in healthcare has a responsibility to contribute to respectful care that honours and includes cultural traditions and beliefs. In these modules, you will hear from Indigenous Peoples about their values, beliefs, and views about care, explore barriers to culturally safer care, and learn how to address these barriers.

Healthcare Provider Grief: Recognizing and Responding

Recognizing your grief is a necessary but often forgotten part of working in healthcare. We hope these modules will help you and your healthcare team support each other and share your own stories about grief and meaning to improve your own health, well-being, and work.

 

Grief Training: Building Healthcare Provider Capacity

Regardless of your professional role, you’re likely to encounter patients and families who are experiencing loss and grief. The goal of these modules is to increase your understanding about grief as you support patients and their families.

Long Term Care: Understanding and Responding to Grief

These grief learning resources are for people working in long-term care settings. No matter your role, end-of-life, grief, and bereavement will be part of your working life. These modules will help increase your understanding about grief and confidence in supporting patients and their families.

Social Workers and Counsellors: Building Your Grief Support Skills

In many settings, formally assessing, responding to, and supporting people in their grief is the work of social workers and counsellors. These modules strive to support social workers and counsellors in their work with grieving individuals, families, and communities.
