Purpose

This inspiring workshop will help members of the caregiving community who want to further develop their knowledge and skills surrounding the art of “companioning” people during times of grief and loss. Dr. Alan Wolfelt will explore a model of bereavement process that is fundamentally a journey of the heart and soul. Come join us and learn more about being totally present to the mourner, even being a temporary guardian of her soul.

Goals

  1. Define a broader framework for loss/grief
  2. Define the concept of "Responsible Rebel"
  3. Explain foundational concepts from a "companioning" philosophy of caregiving
  4. Define sub-categories of “complicated” mourning and "carried grief"
  5. Outline core principles related to self-care for the caregiver

Who Should Attend

This program is designed for Physicians, Nurses, Social Workers, Counselors, Educators, Psychologists, Hospice Personnel, Clergy, chaplains, Lay Ministers, and others caring for bereaved people. We look forward to having you join us for this inspiring workshop.
