Supporting Siblings in Non-traditional, Multicultural Families During the End of LIfe

June 22, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

There are a myriad of constellations that make up a family…and, within each family, a unique identity of “sibling”, one that fiercely loves and walks alongside you regardless of the shared or unshared DNA. This webinar presents a unique case study through which participants will discover ways families identify their own family constellation and the identity of each unique sibling. Participants will learn practical and compassionate ways to address the unique experience of those grieving alongside their beloved brothers and sisters. Participants will also learn how to include siblings from diverse backgrounds and how to support them within an interdisciplinary team. Participants will evaluate different methods to support and serve siblings from diverse backgrounds.
