Building Foundations...Adult, Pediatric, and Perinatal Loss
Building Foundations … Adult, Pediatric, and Perinatal Loss offers healthcare systems and community organizations an introduction to professional bereavement care. The morning workshop presents grief theory, the tasks of mourning, and children and grief. The afternoon workshop addresses perinatal, pediatrics, and general bereavement, and explains use of support strategies and resources.
The course is based on clinical practice and extensive experience in providing bereavement training to healthcare professionals worldwide. It is designed to help organizations comply with Joint Commission standards for end-of-life and bereavement care, and to teach individuals how to support families when a loved one dies.
