Processing Pain, Facilitating Healing – 9281Wi21

Event Phone: 215-583-3630

9 sessions. Prerequisites: Enhancing Trauma Awareness and Essential Communication Skills OR All three (3) Trauma Courses

This group meets for nine sessions on Thursdays from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM beginning February 11, in Philadelphia, PA.

Every life has its share of pain. Professionals need to be intentional about addressing the pain, grief, and loss their clients experience in order to be more effective as consultants and mentors. In this nine-session course, professionals working with children, adolescents and/or families or professionals who are supervisors are invited to explore the nature of the many forms pain can take: losses, traumas, deep injustices, loneliness and isolation, unremitting fear, and depression. We will engage in enhancing professionals’ approaches and skills to effectively process pain, grief, and loss so that instead of being debilitating, pain, grief, and loss can be effectively addressed, resolved and healed, often resulting in powerful new insights about life and relationships.
