SUMMARY:Centering Compassion Series | Mourning in Conflict: Navigating Ethical and Value Clashes in Bereavement
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will broach the complexity of conflict in bereavement within families and between patients and providers. Grief brings with it complicated emotions that can cause tension especially when members of a family or provider and patients have “value clashes.”  These conflicts or value clashes can arise from differences in religious/spiritual beliefs\, divergent value systems\, and/or provider bias.  Unfortunately\, there is a lack of training and dialogue surrounding the negative ramifications when conflict occurs in bereavement. Moreover\, there is a lack of solutions and resources regarding the navigation of conflict in bereavement.  This training will provide an overview of common sources of conflict in bereavement as well as resources and innovative interventions to use with grieving families that help alleviate conflict.   Specifically\, provider will use various helping profession(s) ethical codes to provide a framework for broaching issues of conflict in childhood bereavement; particularly the Association of Spiritual and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC) ethical code. \nThis playback is available to active NACG members only. \n \nMembers must be logged into the member portal to access the playback.

SUMMARY:Centering Compassion Series | Light on the Dark Side of the Street: Living Well in a Loss and Trauma World
DESCRIPTION:We were educated and trained in how to help grieving children and adults\, but most of us had little training and preparation about how to live in healthy ways while being exposed to grief and loss on a daily basis. We often were left to develop our coping with little guidance or support. There are\, however\, ways of framing and approaching our work in helping those who grieve that support both ourselves and the people we serve. Too often our short-term coping strategies have created problems for coping in the long-term. Engaging too deeply leads to overwhelm and burnout. Distancing too much decreases our effectiveness and prevents us from the benefits of compassion satisfaction. In this webinar\, we will explore ways to think about and do our work better for both ourselves and those we serve. \n  \nContinuing Education (CEs) are not available for webinar playbacks.\nTarget Audience: Counselors\, Social workers\, Bereavement support professionals\, school professionals\nInstructional Level: Intermediate – This best describes a topic or issue that the audience likely has a theoretical foundation for understanding and/or a working knowledge. \nFormat: Live Interactive Webinar \nCost: Free for NACG Members. This webinar is available to members only. Become a member today for just $125 per year. Your membership will provide access to free monthly webinars with CEs on current topics to support you in your work\, discounts on educational events\, access to all webinar playbacks\, and more.

SUMMARY:Data and Evaluation Series Training #5: Evaluation Design and Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Given limited resources and stretched capacity\, data collection procedures and program evaluation strategies at the individual program level often fall short in terms of identifying gaps in service\, areas for growth\, and program impact. Today\, philanthropic giving demands quantifiable return on investment in exchange for donations and grants. Combining nearly 20 years of experience in designing bereavement-focused evaluation protocols with the power of the CBEM\, with philanthropic support provided by the New York Life Foundation and in collaboration with the National Alliance for Children’s Grief (NACG)\, Judi’s House/JAG Institute offers a series of free trainings to share best practices in data collection and program evaluation. \nIn 2024-2027\, JH/JAG will continue to support the field in growing their capacity for evaluation and data analysis. In this fifth workshop on Evaluation Design and Analysis\, participants will learn how to design an outcome evaluation\, to analyze change over time in a pretest-posttest design\, and to analyze change based on the level of clients’ attendance and participation in services (i.e.\, dosage analyses). \nThe training structure includes a welcome/introduction\, and for each objective:  content\, polls\, and examples. The presenters will utilize polls and reflections to engage participants in activities focused on the evaluation content and to orient participants to how they can apply learnings in their organization. Time will be allocated at the end of the session to review each of the three objectives\, discuss plans for application of learnings\, and answer participant questions. \n\n \n\nContinuing Education (CEs): 1.0 continuing education credits pending\nTarget Audience: Counselors\, Social workers\, Bereavement support professionals\nInstructional Level: Intermediate – This best describes a topic or issue that the audience likely has a theoretical foundation for understanding and/or a working knowledge\nFormat: Live Interactive Webinar \n\nObjectives:\nBy the end of this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nDesign an outcome evaluation and identify essential data to collect.\nAnalyze and interpret change through pretest-posttest comparisons.\nAnalyze and interpret outcomes by comparing different dosages of client program attendance.\n\n  \nSpeaker Bio:\nMaria Bartini\, PhD\, is the Evaluation Manager at Judi’s House/JAG Institute.
