Group Facilitator Training with Tina Barrett, EdD, LCPC - MISSOULA

Missoula, MT

Monday, May 5th from 11am-5pm & Tuesday, May 6th from 9am-12pm

Many people identify feeling isolated amidst grief. Simultaneously, it can seem that our usual repertoire of coping skills falls short. Groups can offer a positive support network with opportunities to learn and practice constructive outlets for a range of emotions. This interactive workshop with Tina Barrett, EdD, LCPC, explores the benefits of group interventions for youth and adults who are grieving the death of a family member or other types of losses. We will outline models of grief and trauma care related to group work, and discuss tools and ideas for coordinating and facilitating grief support groups, including special considerations for grief after suicide. Considerations for coordination and implementation as well as common challenges in groups will be addressed.
