Description

Please note - this is an in-person event.

Are you a practitioner looking to become more familiar with the complexities of grief experienced by children and adults? This workshop will focus on grief after an unexpected, out of order or traumatic death. Information on the signs and symptoms of complicated grief will be presented. We will discuss grief as a natural response to death and when grief counseling can be helpful. We will review common evidence-based interventions for both children and adults. Content will be delivered using a combination of engaged audience discussion, PowerPoint presentation, short videos, and group work.
