This free online course created by the BC Centre for Palliative Care aims to empower you to provide compassionate, knowledgeable, and meaningful support to those who need it. It builds on your existing knowledge, while offering new perspectives that may deepen or broaden your understanding. Additionally, the course aims to raise awareness and normalize grief that staff and volunteers may experience when the people they serve die, and to offer practical strategies for supporting yourselves and one another in the workplace.
This course is designed for community support workers, frontline staff, volunteers, outreach teams, shelter workers, and anyone who serves (or hopes to better serve) people experiencing homelessness. This four-module, self-paced course explores the unique intersections of grief, trauma, and homelessness. Through evidence-informed content, real-world examples, reflective exercises, and practical strategies, learners will gain a deeper understanding of the topics covered.
