The process of grieving is universal. Yet it can be an incredibly isolating and overwhelming process. In this course, we will dive deeper into this complex topic to better understand how we experience and work through grief and loss, concentrating on two primary modalities but also tools and skills independent of modality. We will dismantle misconceptions, outline important considerations and build a greater understanding of this necessary process for long-term healing and well-being.
This workshop is designed for mental health practitioners working directly with clients. This may include professional counselors, therapists, social workers, and case managers, etc.
