Cultural norms surrounding death are shifting in the United States. Modern times have medicalized dying to the exclusion of social, emotional, and spiritual needs. This webinar will address a more comprehensive approach in shaping how we think about and engage with death and dying.

Webinar Goal:

To develop an awareness of changing attitudes toward death and dying to support individuals and families facing end of life.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the dominant cultural norms surrounding end-of-life care as well as the social movement behind the changes taking place.
• Understand the distinct roles of clergy, medical professionals, hospice, and end-of-life specialists in the dying process.
• Recognize the value of a Dying Person’s Bill of Rights.
