Description

The scale of loss your clients have been subjected to is unlike anything in a generation. Grief is now collectively woven into our experience…far-reaching with no discernible end. And the raw emotional weight of an ever-present pandemic reminds us all that death and loss is much closer than we realized. In this session, grief expert and Fellow in Thanatology Diana Sebzda, LPC will show you how the added layers of collective grief and pandemic fatigue continue to impact your clients, and how you can adapt your work to help them better cope with the fallout. Includes concrete tools, techniques and strategies to facilitate healthy grief and overcome anticipatory grief in the age of COVID.
