Cultural and multi-faith considerations
The family’s spiritual values and beliefs as well as racial and cultural heritage will have an impact on the grieving process and may affect the child’s behaviour. It’s beneficial to gather information and understanding of the different values, customs and traditions of various communities. When communicating with the family, an interpreter or Minister of that Faith can help to avoid incorrect assumptions on either side, and gain insights into what may be expected of the child.
