DUE TO CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES WE ARE LOOKING AT AN ALTERNATIVE TO FACE TO FACE.
PLEASE CONTACT US FOR AN UPDATE
A two-day experiential course
Presenter: Anthony Hillin
This popular two-day experiential workshop invites you to undertake for yourself a range of creative techniques for working with loss. Experiential learning in this context has the dual purpose of:
- giving you direct experience of the potential power and subtleties of these techniques to inform your work with clients
- increase awareness of ways in which your own experience of loss may influence you when working professionally on issues of loss and transition, eg in terms of countertransference and self-care.
Anthony has delivered this workshop to over 100 audiences in Europe and Australasia.
Learning objectives
By the end of the course participants will have:
- Reviewed and developed their skills in working with children, adolescents and adults who are bereaved or experiencing loss resulting from transition or change
- Gained confidence in using a range of creative ways for working with young people and adults including story telling, art, writing, salt sculptures and other experiential approaches
- Explored how these techniques can be used in individual, family and group contexts
- Developed skills in assessing when normal grief reactions become disorder and choosing appropriately from a spectrum of interventions
- Considered approaches to working on loss from a number of treatment perspectives including Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness
- Identified social, cultural, psychological, spiritual and biological factors in grief and loss work
- Explored how the theory of grief and loss can inform their work in practical ways
- Considered risk and protective factors (including attachment style), resilience and the evidence of effectiveness for interventions
- Increased their awareness of the possible impact of this work on themselves as workers and developed strategies for coping with this.
