- Title
Between theory and therapy: Grief and loss skills-based training for hospital social workers.
- Authors
Lewis, Greg; Fox, Suzette
- Abstract
Social work grief and loss education often concentrates on theory and therapy, neither of which are particularly accessible to practitioners in a crisis. Both new and experienced social workers in an acute health environment are challenged to craft a practical, skills-based approach which is part grief therapy and part crisis-response. A working party at a major hospital developed training to bridge this gap. Evaluations indicated attendees made meaningful connections with their practice. This practice reflection describes the development of the training and its outcomes.
