PERSONAL AWARENESS ASSIGNMENTpurpose of this midterm assignment is to allow you to integrate the concepts and theories on grief and loss explored up to the due date. This is intended to give you the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of your own thoughts and feelings toward grief, loss, death, and dying; the appreciation of their origins, and the application of material from the professional literature and insights gained from course that have broadened your understanding. Your personal attitudes significantly influence your approach to grief, loss, death and dying on both a personal and professional level. One�s earliest experiences with loss and death result in beliefs, feelings and attitudes that are carried throughout life. To prevent being controlled by our unconscious and conscious reactions to past experiences, and to better understand the significance of the loss, it is important to recognize and explicitly state how these experiences influence us.

Please discuss the following in your paper:
1. Discuss an experience you have had with death or grief and loss? How old were you when it occurred? Where were you when you learned of the loss? Who did it involve? Describe what happened. The paper should include identifying information of the individual and their relationship to you. What were the physical, emotional and cognitive reactions you were aware of in yourself following the loss?
2.How did the people around you respond to the loss? How did they respond to your reactions?
3.Discuss how death and loss were addressed within your family, e.g. ignored, openly discussed, etc. Relate how these experiences might be related to your ethnicity/race/religion/philosophical perspective.
4.Discuss the first funeral or grief ritual you attended, or if there was a funeral or grief ritual attached to the above loss, identify how you were prepared for it, your memories and feelings about the experience and its impact on you. If you were discouraged from attending grief rituals, discuss your understanding of the rational for this. Discuss any rituals that may relate to loss and that may be pertinent to your family as they relate to ethnicity/culture/race/religion. Incorporate relevant information from course readings/discussions about death anxiety, disenfranchised grief, anticipatory grief.
5.Identify how your beliefs and experiences may affect you in interacting and working with the bereaved. Also, include potential transference and countertransference reactions. Incorporate relevant course content about the grief process and the various theorists that relates to this self-examination.
6.Given your experience with loss, identify factors that assist your coping capacities with loss/grief. Comment on relevant course content.

Incorporate these reflections into a paper which demonstrates a thoughtful, well-organized analysis of your experiences toward loss and your socio-cultural, ethnic, and religious/philosophical attitudes toward death and loss/grief. Include and cite appropriate course readings (minimum of 7) that address these issues. Be sure your citations include references to ethnicity, culture, death and loss, and religiosity/spirituality.

Beginning a Personal and Professional Development Plan
Think about your reasons for entering this master’s programme. What are your goals? Consider how you plan to reach your goals. That might be difficult to discern at this point. Even if you have some steps in mind, you will need to be specific and focus on the details of your plan in order to succeed. A good way to start planning and organising your thoughts is by writing things down.

Once you start to write down what you know, you can begin to identify what elements are missing. You can use what you have written to break down the related steps. A cyclical process of revisiting these steps can help you to develop a concrete plan. Keep in mind your plan may shift and change over time, but when you start with a plan, you will have a clearer path to reaching your goals.

In this first Individual Assignment, you will take a step towards cultivating your path by developing the beginning of your personal and professional development plan. This plan will be a component of your Final Project, in which you will fully develop your personal and professional goals in public health leadership, and you will conceive an action plan for achieving them. For Unit 1 though, your task is to identify your goals and consider some of the potential ways you will achieve them.

To complete this Individual Assignment:

Submit a paper in which you address the following:

◾Describe the leadership attributes you aspire to. Include your reasoning on why you selected these attributes in relation to your role in public health.
◾Describe the leadership attributes you hope to avoid in your career. Justify why you find these attributes undesirable or potentially problematic.
◾Explain how you can work to achieve those attributes to which you aspire.
◾Explain how you can work to avoid those attributes you shun.
◾You should fully state and justify any choices or assumptions that you make using the suggested resources for this unit as well as your own research. Include references to any sources you have used. All sources should be cited using Harvard Referencing Style.
