Workshop Overview: Grief and Trauma: Uncomfortable Bedfellows

In many situations grief is born in the context of traumatic circumstances. For others their grief is carried within the existing burden of their lifelong lived experience of trauma. The two are completely intertwined and yet they live uncomfortably together. Understanding the differences and similarities of these two uneasy bedfellows can assist us in offering effective care. This workshop will consider both grief and different types of trauma theoretically and neurobiologically and in so doing consider how they affect people facing traumatic loss and trauma in their lives. Understanding will help gain a greater understanding of the elements of effective care. 

Learning Outcomes:

At the conclusion of the workshop, the participants will be able:

 To define and distinguish loss, grief and trauma
To distinguish to types of trauma
To understand the neurobiology underlying grief and trauma
To determine the similarities and differences between grief and trauma
To determine the implications of both grief and trauma in the care of people facing such difficult losses
