SUMMARY:Understanding Grief and Loss
DESCRIPTION:Grief is the reaction to loss\, and any kind of loss can trigger grief. People grieve for the loss of someone they love but also for the loss of independence\, usefulness\, cognitive functioning\, and physical abilities. Grief is also a lifelong process: a journey rather than something that is cured. This course will teach people to recognize grief and how to respond appropriately to the grieving person. A final section on compassion fatigue\, burnout\, and secondary stress includes strategies for professional self-care.\nLearning Objectives:\n\nDefine grief\nIdentify three physical changes that affect people as they age to normalize the process\, and help people understand important aspects of working with a grieving person\nIdentify three myths about grief\nList ways to manage compassion fatigue\n\nRegistration Link: REGISTER HERE (FREE)
