Grief and Bereavement Support in the Palliative Care Setting

Grief is an inherent part of the palliative care continuum, and clinicians play an important role in recognizing and responding to it while supporting patients and families. In this webinar, Wendy Lichtenthal, PhD, FT, FAPOS, and Madeline Rogers, LCSW, will provide participants with the opportunity to become familiar with key grief-related terminology and examine the varied ways grief can present, both before and after a loss. Contemporary perspectives on grief will be discussed, along with strategies for recognizing grief-related mental health challenges and risk factors that may contribute to poor bereavement outcomes. This webinar will provide a holistic understanding of grief-informed care in the palliative care setting, empowering participants with practical tools to support patients and families navigating loss.
