Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss
An Interactive Webinar
LIVE on APRIL 10, 2014
2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m
Perhaps the only thing more heartbreaking than seeing an adolescent endure the pain of grief is being unable to help. A new educational program, intended for clinicians but likely to benefit anyone who works with adolescents, addresses the challenge of how to help adolescents face the loss of friends, siblings, peers, parents and other loved ones.
Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss, the 21st annual program in Hospice Foundation of America's Living with Grief(r) series, will be streamed live via the internet from Howard University in Washington, DC on April 10 from 2-4:30 p.m. ET. This program includes a "live" panel discussion of experts, reacting to and commenting on videos that give the program's curriculum real-world application. Don't miss out on this new and exciting program!
This program focuses exclusively on the issues that adolescents face as
they cope with loss. Adolescence, broadly defined, from middle school
years to emerging adulthood, is a significant developmental period
during which adolescents form identity, independence, and intimacy.
Illness and loss profoundly influences these processes. Moreover,
adolescent encounters with loss are likely to be traumatic-deaths by
accident, suicide, and homicide.
This program explores the ways that healthcare workers, hospices, educators, social workers, counselors, clergy, funeral directors, and other professionals can assist adolescents as they cope with loss.
