Facilitating a Grief Group is an impactful way to support individuals who have experienced a loss and are grieving. Many clinicians have a desire to start and facilitate a grief group but are unsure where to begin.
This comprehensive course is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively lead grief support groups.
Participants will analyze the differences and learn how to facilitate various group structures, including grief support groups, psychoeducational groups, and therapy groups, ensuring that each session provides meaningful support and fosters a healing environment. They will explore the key logistical concerns of facilitating grief support groups, such as determining the optimal group size, maintaining consistency, and managing the dynamics within a group setting. They will also discover how to introduce and lead impactful interventions and activities tailored to different age groups, from children and teens to adults, to help participants express their grief, build connectedness, feel safe and heard, and experience validation during their healing process.
Through expert guidance and engaging activities, participants will explore effective grief counseling techniques and learn how to integrate therapeutic models, such as the Dual Process Model, into their practice. This model helps clients navigate the balance between confronting their loss and engaging in daily life, offering a structured approach to bereavement counseling/therapy.
By the end of this training, you'll walk away with a toolbox overflowing with interventions, tools, and resources to launch and facilitate your first grief group with confidence and compassion.
Whether you're a seasoned therapist or just beginning your journey in grief support, this training will enhance your ability to provide effective care to those navigating the complexities of loss.
