A wide diversity of content and topics offers attractive options for practitioners in clinical and community practice. This workshop in designed to give participants an in-depth awareness of parental bereavement. The participant will learn strategies to support a bereaved parent, common issues that impact the grieving process after experiencing the death of a child, sibling needs through different stages of development, and how professionals may be affected by this kind of grief work.
Ethical dilemmas create difficulty for the helping professional.
Oftentimes personal and professional values collide. In this workshop participants explore ethical dilemmas in practice and learn to make decisions based on ethical guidelines and apply these guidelines to practice cases. The demand for increased accountability while working with fewer resources often generates conflict within organizations, between organizations, and between organizations and communities of interest. While conflict is not entirely detrimental, managing conflict is vital to creating a more cohesive and productive work environment. Participants in this workshop will increase their effectiveness in managing conflict by learning about the nature of conflict, conflict management, and negotiation.
