Crucial Conversations around Death, Dying, and End of Life and the Impacts on Complicated Grief and Bereavement

May 11, 2022

Conversations regarding death/end of life are not typically seen as comfortable topics and are often avoided in both professional and personal arenas. Open dialogue regarding life expectancy with patients and families can set the tone for how the patient and family choose to spend their limited time and where they focus their energy. This also sets the stage for the grief process and the impacts on complicated grief/bereavement. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore discussions regarding death/end of life and ways to initiate those conversations with patients and families.  

This conference is being held virtually.

This course is intended for physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and other allied health professionals who deal with mental health issues and addiction medicine.
