When a client dies, the grief that follows can be disorienting, isolating, and professionally complex. This second webinar builds on Part 1 by offering practical, evidence-informed strategies for coping with client loss — emotionally, spiritually, and within the scope of professional practice.
Designed for service providers working with military-connected populations, this session explores how clinicians, chaplains, advocates, and case managers can navigate grief in ways that honor their humanity and uphold their professional integrity. We will examine post-crisis growth, peer support, supervision, and organizational resources that foster resilience and recovery.
Participants will leave with tools to process grief, engage in meaning-making, and support one another through the aftermath of client death.
Learning Objectives:
- Apply evidence-informed strategies for coping with grief after client loss in military-connected care settings.
- Describe key components of post-crisis growth and how they relate to professional healing and integration.
- Identify supportive practices such as supervision, peer consultation, and organizational resources that promote recovery.
- Demonstrate awareness of ethical boundaries and self-care principles when navigating personal grief within professional roles.
