Grief Resources Ottawa Workshop 2014

The Grief Resources Ottawa Workshop (GROW) is an event for individuals in Ottawa who work in the field of grief and bereavement as professionals, students or volunteers. This workshop will give participants an opportunity to share knowledge, receive peer support/self-care, network, and learn through presentations, conversations and experiential workshops.

Of the Workshop sessions, one session focusses specifically on cultural and religious sensitivity: Coping with Grief and Loss in the Muslim Arab Community, presented by Ghassan Arabieh, MA, Counselling Pyschology, Catholic Centre for Immigrants.  Below please find a description of the workshop:

“As the population of the Ottawa region is becoming increasingly multicultural, the need for a multiculturally-sensitive approach to providing appropriate and effective care becomes extremely crucial. This presentation is an attempt to equip health care providers with the knowledge and tools to deliver culturally-sensitive care for the bereaved among Muslim Arabs.”
