Dr. Wolfelt will present his model for understanding, identifying, and companioning grievers lost in the wilderness of grief. This webinar will help participants explore the important topic of “complicated” grief. Dr. Alan Wolfelt will present his model for understanding, identifying, and companioning grievers lost in the wilderness of grief.

After a significant loss, grief is normal and necessary. But sometimes a mourner’s grief becomes naturally heightened, stuck, or made more complex by especially difficult circumstances surrounding the death or complications surrounding the nature of the relationship.

The webinar content will include exploring the origins of complicated grief, risk factors, common symptoms, sub-categories of complicated grief (unembarked, impasse, off-trail, and encamped), and provide specific guidance on caring for complicated grievers. Come join us and learn about this important body of knowledge from one of North America’s leading clinical thanantologists.

Among the content areas explored in this webinar are:

• Introduction: the wilderness of complicated grief

• Understanding the origins of complicated grief

• Complicated grief influences and risk factors

• Identifying complicated grief: symptoms and sub-categories

• Companioning principles for complicated grief

• Facilitating active engagement with six needs of mourning
