FOCUS: Recognizing and assessing the symptoms of complicated grief and laying the groundwork for treating people with complicated grief.
INTENDED FOR: Any health or mental health professional or graduate student working with bereaved people.

OVERVIEW: This one-day workshop is designed to provide a conceptual framework for understanding grief and adaptation to loss generally and in relation to complicated grief. We include strategies and procedures for screening, diagnosis and assessment of individuals with complicated grief and discuss how to differentiate this condition from major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. We provide an overview of Complicated Grief Treatment (CGT) and introduce some simple, practical procedures that you can use in your practice.
