BRIEF INTERVENTIONS FOR CHILDREN FACING BEREAVEMENT

This course addresses and explains the theoretical concepts and practical implications behind the idea of brief work with bereaved children and families.  Flexible and accessible short-term services delivered at the right time underpin the strengths of bereaved children, supporting their recovery rather than pathologising the grief process.  In this way, the course also speaks to the current interest in the concept of resilience and working with families' strengths and possibilities rather than merely identifying their problems.
Venue: St Christopher's Hospice, Sydenham, London
