[1 credit=15 contact hours.] This elective course will demonstrate foundational chaplaincy skills. Students will learn how to conduct a brief spiritual assessment and formulate care needs. Participants will learn how to offer safe, consent-based prayers, mantras, silence, and sacred readings. Karma yoga principles will be employed to address guilt, burden, duty, and outcome. How to support families with ritual, grief, and end-of-life care; and how to recognise safeguarding, referral, and documental requirements. There will be ten workshops of 90 minutes each, each consisting of theory, triad practice, and Q&A. Trainer-led demonstrations will lead to practice with realistic healthcare scenarios. A written assignment will be due after the workshop.
