Death Few events impact families more than death. The impact is intensified in cases of sudden or violent death, particularly if more than one family member is killed.
Families struggle desperately to make sense of what has occurred.
Family structure is forever changed. Family interaction patterns shift and communications commonly break down. Families experiencing sudden and traumatic loss are further stressed by the involvement of the media, police, courts, and insurance companies. Helping these families requires understanding and skill in working systemically. This workshop will examine case studies of families whose members have died violently or suddenly.
