Event Outline: 

It is estimated Prolonged/Complicated Grief effects up to 10% of bereaved people. It is characterised by serious impairment in functioning and an inability to engage satisfactorily with everyday life. It does not respond well to traditional therapy methods and new protocols are being developed to treat it.

This workshop is aimed at therapists who provide counselling services to bereaved clients. It will clarify why grief becomes stuck, what can help, what can hinder, and it will identify some strategies to facilitate grief integration.

CPD Certs will be emailed to participants after attendance at the Event.
