This session will build upon the components of compassion (mindfulness, presence, and common humanity) in a practical way, offering various compassion-based practices and skills for effective support of grieving clients in a way that is sustainable for clinicians. 

​

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Explore specific compassion-based practices that can be helpful to grieving clients;

  • Describe the role of sustainability related to a compassionate stance in situations where grief is chronic, intense, and/or exceptionally difficult; and
