Carol McMurrich, EdM, leads participants in an exploration of successful, compassionate bereavement care.
Participants in this course will:
Learn best caregiving practices for when a baby dies and why these practices can be important to each individual family.
Explore how to present options to parents which empower them to become active participants in their own loss experience, rather than victims of circumstance.
Practice ways to assess and acknowledge a family’s social and cultural background and how they can use this information to help to make meaning with the family at the time of loss.
Learn from those who have experienced this type of loss themselves via the speakers in the parent panel.
Gather skills for debrief and self-care so that they can learn from, and not be negatively affected by, caring for the bereaved.
This is the first of two identical sessions on 9/30, the other occurring from 4:30 - 9 PM.
COST: $80
