Grief is a natural yet deeply individual process that can profoundly impact a person’s emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. This training offers clinicians foundational knowledge and practical skills for supporting clients navigating loss in its many forms, including death, relationship endings, life transitions, and non-death losses. This training explores key grief theories, common misconceptions, cultural considerations, and the therapist’s role in fostering a safe, compassionate space for mourning and meaning-making. Clinicians will learn how to recognize the diverse manifestations of grief and how to respond with interventions that honor both the universality and uniqueness of each client’s experience.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe at least three theoretical models of grief and their implications for clinical practice.
• Identify common myths and cultural variations in the grieving process that may affect client expectations and experiences.
• Explain how to implement at least two evidence-based strategies for creating a supportive therapeutic environment for clients experiencing grief.
