Section II in the DDSP program moves from understanding to doing. These offerings emphasize practical skill: how to be present with a dying person, how to navigate the emotional and relational terrain around death, how to offer spiritual support, and how to care for the body and the bereaved after death.
Specific scheduling for some Part II courses will be confirmed once we have a more specific and clear picture of participant composition and needs. Dates listed reflect current planning.
