Content Description:
Have you completed a foundational perinatal loss training and are now looking to further advance your clinical knowledge and skills? This live, virtual training delves into the limitations of the traditional 5 stages of grief model, particularly as it applies to working with bereaved parents. Participants will then explore four contemporary grief theories that offer a more nuanced understanding of the grieving process as well as how these theories connect to clinical practices around perinatal loss. Practice tools such as theory “cheat sheets” and worksheets that can be used in session will be provided to attendees. Case examples will also be utilized giving attendees the opportunity to further integrate their new knowledge.
Presenter: Lauren Abdill, MSW, LCSW, PMH-C
Learning Objectives:
Identify elements of the 5 Stages of Grief theory, understand the model’s original intended use, and how it is limited with bereaved perinatal parents.
Identify and discuss at least 4 contemporary grief models to use in clinical work in place of the 5 Stages theory.
Understand how these contemporary grief models can be utilized in clinical work with loss parents.
Practice clinical skills through case examples and break out sessions.
This training is a great follow up to our 3 hr “Perinatal Loss” training. We recommend pairing it with a training that focuses on a modality such as “Act for Women’s Mental Health”. We also recommend following it up with our training titled “Helping Clients Navigate the Waiting Period”.
