About the Course

End-of-life work asks social workers to meet people in some of the most intimate moments of their lives, moments shaped profoundly by culture, belief, ritual, and family. This course moves past the "cultural competence" checklist and into the practice of cultural humility: a lifelong approach grounded in self-reflection, open-ended inquiry, and genuine respect for the person in front of you. Through real case studies and practical tools, you'll learn how to ask instead of assume, navigate power imbalances in healthcare settings, and support patients and families across diverse beliefs about death, dying, and grief. Built for hospice and palliative care social workers by hospice and palliative care social workers.
