“You are invited to the Traumatic Grief after Suicide conference cosponsored by Virginia Mason Separation and Loss Services, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Washington State Society for Clinic Social Workers.
Day 1 on Friday, October 7th, will feature keynote speakers discussing therapeutic interventions after suicidal death, the results of a research study showing the complicated grief reactions of those who have lost loved ones to suicide and the recommendations from the set of national guidelines for suicide postvention released by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention in April 2015. There will be two panels: one focusing on specific prevention and intervention services for children and adolescents pre- and post-suicide; and one focusing on specific services for adults. The panels feature clinical, spiritual, first responder and military professionals.
Day 2 on Saturday, October 8th, will feature John R. Jordan, PhD, facilitating a day-long workshop, “Suicide Bereavement Clinician Training Program” designed specifically for mental health professionals who provide grief therapy for suicide loss survivors.
