Understanding Disenfranchised Grief November 18, 2022

Grief that goes unnoticed can leave people feeling confused, misunderstood, and unsupported.

Grief that goes unnoticed can leave people feeling confused, misunderstood, and unsupported. This training will provide an overview of the grief process and the impact it has on grievers’ lives. It will also consider how grief can be disenfranchised in the context of social norms. We will discuss what it means for grief to be disenfranchised and how this disenfranchisement impacts grievers. Taking a closer look at this topic will help inform goals and interventions that are helpful in grief counseling.

3 CEs are available for NYS LMHCs, LMSWs, LCSWs, LMFTs, LCATs, NYS Licensed Psychologists and NYS Licensed Psychoanalysts upon completion of training.
