Parenting While Grieving

1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

This session will assist professionals in understanding the unique aspects of family grief when a family member is experiencing a substance use disorder, examined through the lens of Pauline Boss’s Ambiguous Grief research and therapy. It will then consider the unique challenges of coping with substance-related deaths and outline evidence-informed approaches for providing support.

After this session, participants will be able to:

• Articulate common modern grief theories in contrast to the traditional stage mode of grief and their applications in cases of addiction and overdose.
• Describe the unique aspects of the disenfranchised grief experience of family members and friends who have lost a loved one to addiction.

• Apply evidence-informed principles of grief support to family members of those experiencing ambiguous grief as a result of addiction and the grief of a substance use death.
