September Lunch & Learn | Death and Dying in Collectivistic Cultures (Online)

Death and Dying in Collectivistic Cultures

Collectivism is on the individual and societal level to view oneself as interdependent and a member of a group rather than an individual being valuing independence. In collectivistic cultures, people feel that they belong to a larger in group and prioritize family and community over the individual. Family values are more central and the needs of all are considered important and even greater than the individual. Collectivistic cultures value collaboration, family and community interdependence and look at the individual as part of a larger whole. All of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America are collectivistic cultures (thus I can’t list them all) and those of the diaspora of all of those cultures (Asian Americans, Latino Americans, Africans) are a blend in terms of their collectivism.Loss of spouse or partner will also be discussed.

*The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) has stopped pre-certifying ANY Continuing Education or Professional Development for mental health providers. The Jung Center cannot guarantee that the programs we provide will qualify for continuing education or Professional Development, nor can any other agency. The Jung Center uses high educational standards when selecting to designate events as "potentially appropriate for CEs", and in evaluating the outcomes of our educational services, and we believe them to meet the requirements of state licensing bodies.
