Even for friends and loved ones, some of the most difficult conversations are the most necessary. How do you approach a difficult topic without overstepping boundaries of privacy? How can your conversations lead to hope and healing?
This three-week course is rooted in the personal experiences of the instructor, as she reflects on her experience as a cancer survivor. During her diagnosis and treatment she came to appreciate that personal conversations are full of vulnerability, both for the one initiating the conversation and for the survivor. You will reflect on times of your own life when you have been vulnerable and will develop strategies for helping others through times of crisis with sensitivity.
Learners will be required to obtain a copy of:
