Grief and bereavement are multifaceted processes that extend beyond sadness, encompassing psychological, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cultural dimensions. While grief is a universal human experience, each client’s journey is unique and influenced by personal history, family systems, culture, and the nature of the loss.
This training equips mental health counselors with knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of grief support. Participants will gain clarity on the distinctions between grief, mourning, and bereavement, while also exploring how to differentiate typical grief responses from complicated or prolonged grief. Emphasis will be placed on culturally responsive care, lifespan considerations, and evidence-based interventions.
Counselors will also reflect on their own experiences of grief, learning strategies to build resilience and prevent burnout when working with grieving clients.
