Bereaved Children and Adolescents: Lessons from Research
with Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, MDiv; Irwin N. Sandler, PhD and J. William Worden, PhD, ABPP
Webinar Program
Wednesday April 14, 2010
1:00pm - 2:30pm EDT
Increasingly, grief counselors are called to defend their practice. Are there perspectives and approaches that can be considered "evidence-based"? This seminar offers information about two of the most significant research projects to date on the effects of parental loss on children and adolescents. The work of William Worden and the Harvard Child Bereavement Study, and that of Irwin Sandler and the Family Bereavement Program, offers insights not only on the experience of grief in children and adolescents, but also on the factors that can help identify the children most at risk. This webinar is essential for all who work with children and adolescents. Social workers, guidance counselors, child life professionals, counselors, educators, clergy, and funeral directors will glean insights and intervention strategies that will enhance their ability to support grieving children and adolescents.
One and a half hours of continuing education is available for social workers, nurses and counselors. For more information see http://www.hospicefoundation.org/webinars.
