- Program Outline
These programs aim to provide best practice grief and palliative care counselling education. They are designed for practitioners with appropriate educational, experiential and personal attributes who wish to enhance their knowledge and expertise in the area of counselling within a grief, bereavement and palliative care context.
The programs are primarily aimed at graduate health and welfare professionals who are responsible for supporting others in times of transition, crisis or difficulty and who wish to offer effective counselling in their clinical and therapeutic work.
The programs offer a unique combination of up-to-date knowledge of grief, palliative care and bereavement issues, and a practical approach to the skilful handling of grief. Theoretical perspectives taught in the program are balanced by application of techniques, so that experiential and integrated learning results.
The programs are offered at three levels, and may be studied on campus or by distance. Courses are designed to accommodate individuals who have regular work commitments.
The graduate diploma builds on the graduate certificate, providing students with additional perspectives on grief and introducing them to specialised counselling interventions relevant to grief. Students are given an opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge essential to the research process. Students in the graduate diploma are required to have a caseload and to be actively involved in grief counselling, waged or unwaged. Opportunities for supervision are provided.
