This in-person experiential workshop will advance your grief support skills with youth and provide opportunities to practice interventions.
About this Event

This is a season of grief. Even mental health professionals with significant training in how to support grieving children or adolescents are finding themselves "stuck" in how to support new and established clients in this prolonged grief experience brought on by COVID-19. Furthermore, as in-person services continue to slowly resume, some providers are feeling "rusty" in how to incorporate dynamic interventions into their practice. This workshop will provide a hands-on opportunity to practice interventions that integrate play and the expressive arts for processing loss.

Price: $70, 2 CE's

Questions: Contact Melissa Sellevaag, LICSW at 202-204-5033 or [email protected]
