You will learn practical intervention strategies and principles for working with clients facing ambiguous losses and disenfranchised grief. \nMethod: Lecture\, discussion \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDefine Ambiguous Loss and Disenfranchised Grief\, and recognize examples of each in the clients you serve.\nExplain similarities and differences between ambiguous loss and loss to death.\nLearn cognitive\, emotional\, and relational approaches to help clients experience loss in new ways\, promoting healing and hope.\nUtilize dialectical strategies and an evolved understanding of “hope” in the context of ambiguous loss.\n\nInstructors: Tiffany Huseman\, Psy.D.; Sedef Orsel\, LCSW \nLocation: Zoom \nThis form is currently closed for submissions. \nWestchester Jewish Community Services is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists #PSY-0101\, and by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW0067\, and by The New York State Education Department’s State Board for Mental Health Practitioners as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed mental health counselors. #MHC-0313. \nPlease note: To receive CE credits\, one must attend the entirety of the class.
