To be an effective health care worker you need to have an understanding of ‘Sorry business’, grief and loss. Different Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities have different names, customs and protocols for dealing with loss, grief and death.
For Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities a bereavement often involves the entire community. In working with this client you will:
- offer bereavement support
- research community protocols
- debrief.
If you need to learn more about things to consider when offering bereavement support first, select Sorry business.
Use the left menu to work through offering bereavement support, researching community protocols and debriefing. Or, just jump in where you left off last time.
