When Grief Happens to Your Client: Clinical Interventions for Diagnosis & Treatment

Help Your Clients Confront Loss Without Becoming Lost
Grief is a universal experience, and the likelihood that you will treat a client who is confronting loss is high. Whether from the loss of a life through death or departure, or losing something that was once important, everyone has a point in their life when it affects them. Death and other influential loss affects not only the person, but everyone to whom that person is connected - and not everyone understands its impact. If you are a clinician who wants to be prepared to help your clients navigate loss, or if you want to learn new techniques in the field, then this course is perfect for you.

This seminar will explore the spectrum of grief, from an uncomplicated reaction through traumatic grief. Learn how to use the DSM-5® to differentiate complicated grief from other mental health disorders. Delve deeply into the grief reactions surrounding suicide, PTSD, and the tragic loss of children. Employ an outcomes-based approach in assisting your clients to achieve measurable results in their recovery from loss. Linda Blackburn, MSW, LCSW, will present you with proven strategies and treatment approaches that will empower you to meet your clients where they are in their grief journeys.
