Living With Grief Program
Date/Time: 09/19/2014, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
Provider: Hospice of Marion County
The Living With Grief 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. 3 CE’s are available. For full program details, see HFA’s website at www.hospicefoundation.org.
Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss, Hospice Foundation of America’s annual national Living With Grief® program will be moderated by Frank Sesno, Director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University.
