Iceberg Theory: Counselling Below the Surface - in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane - workshops with Benjamin Wolfe in early 2015
Working with patients/clients/residents or their families prior to, or after, the expected, sudden, or traumatic death of a loved one is challenging. As physicians, nurses, therapists, counsellors, chaplains or social workers – whatever our professional role – we need to remind ourselves: 'What we see is not always obvious!'
This workshop will provide strategies and interventions to help individuals and families trying to cope with the opportunities and struggles on the 'loss' journey. This interactive workshop will explore clinical interventions dealing with loss in its broadest sense, factors that influence grief, and family make-up and communication styles.
Additionally, the day will remind us that we too are changed by the work we do.
