Grief, Loss, & Healing for Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Staff

While grief and loss are universal, these experiences are even more complicated for families and staff in supervised visitation programs. This presentation series will discuss the spectrum of loss from bereavement to non-death losses within the context of supervised visitation programs. In this series, we explored:

• How to help staff define and identify the different types of grief and loss

• Learned how culture and grief interact

• Explored the impact on individuals, families, organizations, and institutions

• Provided strategies for supporting grieving participants and team members

This 2-part series aimed to create a reflective and non-judgemental space where participants could acknowledge and process their individual and collective grief in service to their personal and professional growth and well-being.
