Hospice Foundation of America Presents: Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss

Hospice Foundation of America Presents:  Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss

Annual National Living with Grief® Program

This program focuses exclusively on the issues that adolescents face as they cope with loss. Adolescence is a significant developmental period during which adolescents form identity, independence, and intimacy. Illness and loss profoundly influence these processes. Moreover, adolescent encounters with loss are likely to be traumatic–deaths by accident, suicide, and homicide. This program explores the ways that healthcare workers, hospices, educators, social workers, counselors, clergy, funeral directors, and other professionals can assist adolescents as they cope with loss.

Sponsored by Regional Hospice & Home Care of Western CT and Family & Children's Aid, the HFA live webcast will be held Thursday, April 10 from 2:00 to 5 p.m. at Broadview Middle School, 72 Hospital Ave., Danbury, CT.

3-hours of continuing education will be available through Hospice Foundation of America for nurses, social workers, counselors, psychologists, funeral directors, clergy, and more. The CE cost is $15 per person. Please verify CE availability with your professional or state board approval and/or refer to HFA's list of Board Approvals located at register.hospicefoundation.org. CE instructions will be provided at the viewing location.

To attend the program, please RSVP to emaron@regionalhospicect.org or 203-792-4422 ext. 2.
