Befriending Grief: Nurturing a Healthy Relationship with the Process of Loss

Date: October 7, 2010

Time: 6:15PM - 8:30PM

Location: Dorothy C. Fuqua Training Center

Presented By: Stuart D. Smith, LPC, The Link Counseling Center, Clinical Coordinator for the Link's Resource Center for Suicide Prevention and Aftercare. This presentation is intended to bring increased comfort and awareness to those who work with grieving clients. Working therapeutically with grief is challenging, as practitioners often feel a need to do something...to fix the grief. While it can generate serious complications, grief itself need not be seen as pathological. The grief process can be a very rich, though painful experience in which people benefit significantly from proper support and understanding. Response to loss often involves significant disorientation in those left behind, and one of our tasks is to learn appropriate ways to be with them in the process of adjustment. We will explore some of those ways while examining some of the therapeutic challenges that loss and grief provide.
