The grief & mourning journey is unique to each person, however there are some commonalities often shared by fellow travelers on the road. This workshop will explore what is referred to as the grief journey. Attention will be given to the following areas: clinical aspects of diagnosing & treating grief; various grief models; uniqueness of losses such as sudden loss, partner loss or sibling loss; practical interventions to use with those experiencing loss; issues related to trauma; grief over the life span; discussion on the concept of complicated mourning; resiliency & loss; & cultural considerations in working with people around loss & grief issues. Intent: meet BSRB Diagnoses/Treatment requirements.
