About This Workshop

Join Solutions On Site with Dr. Therese Rando, author of “How to Go on Living When Someone You Love Dies”, Grief, Dying and Death: Clinical interventions for Caregivers”, “Parental Loss of a Child” and “Treatment of Complicated mourning”. The purpose of the workshop is to present an integrative model of self-help following traumatic bereavement. Eleven core areas of intervention created by sudden, traumatic death are identified and strategies are outlined for addressing them. Emphasis is placed on helping attendees enable mourners to work with these core issues independently of treatment. The workshop is also suitable for those wanting essential intervention strategies that can be incorporated into ongoing treatment with traumatized mourners.
