This training event is hosted by Canadian Mental Health Association Ontario and is presented by staff from CMHA Windsor-Essex.
This two-day, intensive in-person training will focus on providing individual therapy to those clients who are presenting with complex or traumatic grief. Information and training will be delivered by staff from CMHA Windsor-Essex County’s Bereavement Program.
This training is primarily geared toward clinicians who are in a therapy role and have an understanding of psychotherapy practices.
At the end of this training participants will:
- Understand complex grief and those external and internal factors that impact grief.
- Understand how complex grief can present within individual clients.
- Learn or enhance skills in completing grief focused psychosocial assessments
- Understand a variety of researched based therapy modalities that can be used in sessions with clients.
- Learn interventions for treatment and address concerns that may arise in sessions
This training is part of CMHA Ontario’s new bereavement resources, which were developed for CMHA branches to further support healthy grieving in communities across Ontario. The resources are modeled after the CMHA Windsor Essex Bereavement program, which has been offering bereavement services to the local community since 1978.
