The Impact of Suicide for Professional Caregivers

10/29/2019
Location: Horan & McConary 5303 E. County Line Rd. Centennial, CO. 80122

8:30 am - 11:30 am

This session will address the unique aspects of grief following a suicide death. We’ll describe the unique aspects of the disenfranchised grief experience of family members and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide. Deaths by suicide can be experienced as a traumatic loss, and it is not uncommon for people who’ve experienced a traumatic death to experience significantly more intense, pervasive, and prolonged symptoms.

In this session, we will:

  • Discuss modern grief theory and modern trauma theory
  • Differentiate between traumatic grief reactions in contrast to “normal” grief responses, and review what is meant by post-traumatic growth (PTG).
  • We will outline specific interventions for providing support to individuals who are grieving a suicide death.
