Workshop Overview: Supporting Disenfranchised Grievers in Partnership with the Cancer Council WA

The word ‘disenfranchised’ means to deprive someone of the right to something. With grief, it means being deprived of the right to grieve. Ultimately, disenfranchised grief occurs when the person who is grieving feels unsupported – by friends, family, community, the workplace, society, etc. or feels that their grief is unacknowledged or unworthy.

This workshop is designed for anyone encountering bereaved people in their professional lives and to understand how to support those experiencing disenfranchised grief.
 
Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define, and describe the dimensions and contexts of Disenfranchised Grief
• Identify and describe the complexity of issues, questions and experiences that a person experiencing disenfranchised grief may face
• Describe effective strategies for responding to Disenfranchised Grief
• Consider the special role of ritual in responding to Disenfranchised Grief
• Consider the relationship between Disenfranchised Grief and self-care
