•Theoretical foundations of death, dying and bereavement;
•Ethical, moral and legal issues surrounding end of life;
•Cultural considerations of those who are dying, their families, and those who are bereaved;
•Communication techniques that have proven to help the dying and the bereaved;
•Fears of those who are dying and those who are left behind;

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
