Our continuing education division, CLiCKPLAYceu.com, is proud to present our latest course on overcoming grief and loss. We have worked tirelessly to bring you a wonderful and moving continuing education experience.
“To everything there is a season…. A time to cry and a time to laugh”. One of the things that binds all humans together is the experience of both joy and sorrow in life. This is especially evident when working in the healthcare and human services field. In our profession, there are great joys: seeing a sick person made well, a new baby come into the world, a successful treatment, the restoration of a person’s health and function.
The chance to be a part of these experiences is what draws many people to work in health-care-related jobs. However, there are also many sorrows–treatments that fail, clients that are facing disability or pain, families dealing with the news of their loved one’s death, people coming to the end of their life. It’s not as easy to provide excellent care in the bad times as it is in the good; but since grief and loss are part of the human condition, we need to be prepared to support patients and their loved ones in times of grief, and also be able to manage our own emotions as we deal with people who are enduring sadness and loss.
This course will familiarize you with the typical signs and patterns of grief and how to recognize them in others, give you strategies for helping patients face difficult times, and enable you to develop your own emotional management and coping strategies as a healthcare or human services worker. At the end of this course you will be filled with hope and gain a new understanding of grief and loss so that you can aid others and yourself.
