Join us for an in-depth, two-day virtual intensive designed to provide the essential theoretical and practical knowledge required to support clients grieving both death and non-death losses. Using research around risk and resilience after loss, alongside the most current theories of attachment and the dual process model of coping with loss while restoring life, participants will learn tools for helping clients integrate the loss into their lives while maintaining a dynamic internal continued bond with loved ones. 

This comprehensive program is divided into two focused sessions: Day One: Advanced Foundations: Essential Theories and Competencies for Grief Practice and Day Two: Grief Therapy Techniques: Enhancing Your Clinical Toolkit.

Building on the foundational knowledge from Day One, this session focuses on practical, evidence-informed strategies that go beyond basic grief counseling.

The workshop includes a variety of assessment tools and worksheets designed to enhance therapeutic interventions and provide tangible support to clients.
