Description
Suicide ranks among the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s top 10 causes of death for elementary school-aged children and teens. The loss of a peer to suicide is a traumatic biopsychosocial-spiritual experience that often leads to disenfranchised grief. This interactive, case-based workshop discusses forefront child/adolescent peer suicide treatment strategies across developmental levels of death understanding and psychosocial stages. Participants will apply the person-specific intervention strategies to a case study.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the biopsychosocial-spiritual manifestations of grief among children/adolescents bereaved by peer suicide.
2. Analyze disenfranchised grief in connection with best practice strategies for supporting children/adolescents bereaved by peer suicide.
3. Apply the person-centered intervention strategies to practice using a case study.
