WEBINAR DETAILS
UPDATED The consequences of the COVID-19 virus have been pervasive. A frequently asked question is "How do we care for grieving families during this time?" Learn how to continually care for patients and families during a pandemic. In addition to addressing counseling techniques, this webinar will also examine methods to provide quality interventions "from a distance."
There is much confusion between counseling and therapy/psychotherapy. Many bereavement professionals are also uncertain which interventions fall within their licensing and scope of practice. This webinar will clear up the confusion and explore how to translate assessments and risk assessments into methods to “ensure that bereavement services reflect the needs of the bereaved” as Conditions of Participation require. Learn to work through common and challenging situations using counseling techniques from theoretical frameworks such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness awareness, and the Dual Process Model of Grief.
Attendance certificate provided, however there are no pre-approved CEs associated with this webinar.
