As I prepare to celebrate Father’s Day, I am mindful that this holiday can be difficult for those who are grieving their father; and I acknowledge the increased yearning, longing and searching that many may be reexperienced as they mourn a death by suicide of a father and/or a father figure. A high percentage of those who grieve a suicidal death experience a complicated bereavement in which duration and the intensity of emotions are exaggerated.
During the month of June, I will offer a reduced rate on my Complicated Grief Online Training Program. During this mini course you will learn the symptoms of complicated grief and gain intervention skills to help the suicide bereaved to reclaim their personal power and move forward along the healing journey.
In this course, you will:
1) Distinguish between acute grief, integrated grief and complicated grief.
2) Examine the symptoms of complicated grief as they apply to suicide bereavement.
3) Gain skills in offering emotional first aid and crisis intervention.
4) Apply a counseling model for helping during times of grief.
5) Gain intervention skills to help the person in a complicated grief reclaim personal power and move forward along the healing journey.
"I feel very confident to help someone bereaved from a death by suicide because of the extensive information in this program about complicated grief."
