In the past year families have been confronted with death on a scale not witnessed in generations.
And children are often impacted most intensely following the loss of an immediate or extended family member. Trauma, pain and confusion replacing safety and security.
But their understanding of death, and responses to the grief that follows, are largely influenced by their developmental level, making their treatment much different from that of an adult.
Join Dr. Erica Sirrine for this powerful session so you can better understand the unique nature of grief in children and adolescents and get developmentally appropriate treatment strategies to help these vulnerable clients find hope and healing!
過去的一年裡，家庭面臨著幾代人從未見過的規模的死亡。在失去直系親屬或大家庭成員後，兒童往往受到的影響最為嚴重。創傷、痛苦和混亂取代了安全和保障。
但他們對死亡的理解，以及對隨後悲傷的反應，很大程度上受他們的發育水平的影響，這使得他們的治療與成年人的治療大不相同。
與 Erica Sirrine 博士一起參加這個強有力的會議，這樣您就可以更好地了解兒童和青少年悲傷的獨特性質，並獲得適合發育的治療策略，幫助這些弱勢客戶找到希望和康復！
