Advocate to Support Training of Healthcare Workers Who Work With Refugees on Utilizing Culturally Congruent Care When Assessing for Grief

Excelsior University School of Nursing department chair Brian Pervis presented at Sigma Theta Tau’s Global Advocacy Academy. The presentation, titled “Advocate to Support Training of Healthcare Workers Who Work With Refugees on Utilizing Culturally Congruent Care When Assessing for Grief,” addresses the need for culturally congruent grief assessment among refugee populations. Refugees often experience prolonged grief and trauma in ways that are deeply tied to cultural beliefs, yet such perspectives are frequently overlooked in Western clinical practice.
