  What is online therapy? This month we are excited to have Danielle Blessing Taylor, licensed marriage and family therapist and private practice owner, speak about the ins and outs of online therapy. She has been providing Telehealth since 2015 and therapy since 2009. She will share valuable information about items to consider when practicing online such as insurance coverage, client/therapist travel considerations and body language. Join us for a presentation and discussion geared toward therapists who want to learn how to get started providing online therapy, and how to do it in a safe, effective and ethical way!

  About the Lunch & Learn Program
  

  
  The Lunch and Learn Speaker Series was created in 2017 in response to feedback from members who participated in our membership opinion survey. Every other month, we gather in Pasadena.

  Program Description
  The loss of a loved one is perhaps one of the greatest pains we experience as humans. When a loved one dies in a sudden manner from an accident, health crisis, addictive substance or suicide, traumatic grief may result. Traumatic grief often complicates the bereavement process and produces unique psychological consequences. For clinicians who work with individuals grieving the death of a loved one, it is imperative to understand the different physical, psychological and behavioral repercussions that often occur. The following workshop will provide participants with a basic understanding of traumatic grief, complicated bereavement and treatment challenges in order to facilitate mourning within the context of trauma. The workshop will also explore how to facilitate post traumatic growth in clinical practice.

  Learning Objectives
  

  At the end of the presentation participants will:

  1. Define what constitutes traumatic grief and how the traumatic grief experience differs from non-traumatic grief.  

  2. Understand the DSM differential between grief, traumatic grief, prolonged grief and complicated bereavement.

  3. Develop an awareness of evidence-based treatments used with traumatic grief and complicated bereavement.

  4. Identify community and national resources available to clients for traumatic grief.

  5. Conceptualize major constructs within Post Traumatic Growth.
