Death is a natural life cycle event. While grief is a normal reaction, few clinicians have been trained to assist grieving families. In this four hour workshop, participants will gain an understanding of the physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses of grieving children and teens along with a model for understanding grief from a developmental perspective. Participants will acquire effective intervention strategies to utilize with clients and learn how to safeguard against Compassion Fatigue.
Topics include:
