SUMMARY:Introduction to Grief Support Series | Providing Long-Term Grief Support versus Crisis Intervention
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of an ongoing series that will provide a foundation of introductory information for anyone working with or providing support to children\, teens\, and families who may be grieving. This series is not progressive; sessions can be viewed in any order. \nThis session is designed to discuss immediate grief during a crisis and long-term grief\, with a particular emphasis on the transitional aspects of this process. Session attendees will learn how to collaborate effectively with local partners who are able to provide immediate support to children and families in moments of crisis. There will be discussion about the importance of facilitating engagement and ensuring that families are properly guided through the transition to long-term grief care when a crisis first occurs. \nThe session will explore best practices in collaborating with partner organizations who are equipped to provide immediate crisis interventions\, and in turn\, how to train these partners to refer to bereavement centers where children and families will receive extended support system that addresses their evolving needs over time. This includes learning about CBC’s “Self Care After Loss” workshops in order for session attendees to be prepared to assist communities after the immediate crisis and support for children\, teens\, and their families in the long term.
