About the Program
Tis a truism that the personal narratives of grief and bereavement counselors will be triggered when doing their work with others. Stories evoke stories. Shared accounts of loss can overlap with or evoke the personal loss experiences of the grief volunteer or professional. At those moments, the quality of grief care can be compromised or enriched. In this workshop, registrants will be presented with perspectives and tools for addressing the ambiguities of loss and of grief care, while also grieving.
CEUs
CEU’s will be available for professionals in Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, Social Work, Behavior Health and Therapy, and MN Nurses.
