Caring for Others is an experiential course providing training for caregivers in interfaith settings. Coming from a Buddhist perspective, this year’s program will engage with Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The five sessions will include presentations from chaplains in these traditions alongside readings, reflective writing, small groups, and field trips to local places of worship.
This program is open to those interested in exploring interfaith questions as they relate to aging, illness, and death from a care giver’s perspective. It is ideal for trained caregivers, spiritual care volunteers, chaplains and healthcare professionals.
