Clinicians are often challenged with the nature and complexity of grief work with clients as the grief journey will be unending and can also tap into secondary stress for the therapist at times. In this engaging program, participants will acquire essential skills and knowledge to effectively guide individuals through the intricate terrain of grief and bereavement. The program will begin with an overview and understanding of terms and theories related to grief. An array of counseling techniques, including group dynamics and creative arts, to tailor one's approach and increase perspectives will then be presented. At its conclusion, the training will empower clinicians with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of grief, offer meaningful support, and contribute to the overall well-being of individuals coping with loss.
The workshop aims to equip social workers with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to effectively support individuals experiencing grief and bereavement. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of thanatology and the grieving process, learn empathetic communication techniques, and explore therapeutic interventions to facilitate healing.
