Religious Divide Project at Creighton University

As reported by Judi Bergjord at our last ICON meeting:

Here is an excerpt from the site:

'The purpose of this project was to partner with Project Interfaith and the Respite Resource Center to promote awareness of religious diversity, its effect on health care and to provide access to resources needed by healthcare workers. We used a workshop format to conduct training on religious diversity and how it can affect the way caregivers provide care. Through two day-long training seminars, participants reflected on their own religious views and learned about the religious views and beliefs of others. They learned about accommodating the beliefs of others under the law and about communicating in a sensitive manner. Participants also learned about how to access reliable health information.
