Grief & Bereavement Counseling

Course Code: DED9151
School: Stonebridge Associated Colleges UK

Course Materials Available: 365 Days Estimated Hours to Complete Course: 120

Description

"Grief is a measure of our love and independence and is the price we have to pay for loving."

The chaos of grief can be at the same time overwhelming and a refuge to retreat into. For those who are suffering there is no consolation and for those around them words prove appallingly inadequate.

Working with the bereaved deals with an important aspect of counseling. The sense of loss, intense grief and depression that follows bereavement can be almost unbearable and the need for counseling is often a desperate one.

Topics in this course include:

  • Attitudes towards death
  • Bereavement & the client
  • What is grief - what can be done to help
  • Working with children
  • Grief v. depression
  • Adjusting to violent death
  • Exploring grief & the letting go
  • Rights of the bereaved
