Description
Death and dying are parts of the grieving process that often get over-looked. But understanding what actually happens, what the dying process looks like, and how humans often face it can equip us as psychotherapists to better understand both terminally ill clients as well as their families after a death. Julie McFadden is an experienced and expert hospice nurse who has been working with dying and their families. In this workshop, moderated by David Kessler, RN, you’ll learn what every therapist should know about death and dying, particularly if you specialize in grief work.
