Upcoming Event! De-pathologizing Grief: a workshop presented by Megan Devine on April 1st, 2022
Join me for an online clinical workshop:
De-pathologizing Grief
Friday, April 1st from 9am to 1pm PST
Presented by the Central Oregon Association of Psychologists
With so much media and public health attention on “getting help” for mental health issues, clinicians are being asked to navigate far more grief than ever before – at a time when we’re living through our own losses and fatigue (pandemic and otherwise).
It was true before the pandemic, and it’s more true now: pathology based models of dealing with grief will not help us face pain. Not in our clients, not in ourselves, and not in the world.
In this four hour intensive, Megan presents an overview of our history with grief, touching briefly on pathologized models currently prevalent in clinical and medical practice.
The bulk of our time together will be spent on recognizing normal, healthy grief, understanding the spectrum of emotional pain, and discussing tools and approaches to grief that are far more inclusive, kind, and effective than the reductive models currently in use.
