Providing Effective Bereavement Support (Clayton)

Presenter: Greg Roberts

When working with grieving people it is important to recognise and understand normative grief reactions. Grief counselling is a specialised area which requires a toolkit of responses and strategies which can be tailored to each individual’s needs. This program will identify a range of responses appropriate for grieving people.

Designed for:
Professionals involved in the care and support of bereaved people including nurses, counsellors, doctors, social workers, teachers, clergy, volunteers, teachers and youth workers. Those with a basic understanding of counselling practice but whose primary or sole area of practice may not be grief support.

Learning outcomes:
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• be aware of common grief responses
• identify and describe some theoretical perspectives and useful models
• recognise the needs of grieving people
• identify and implement effective strategies to support grieving individuals.

Limit:
24
