Grief is a typical response of sorrow, heartache, and confusion that comes from losing someone or something important. Grief can also be a common human response after a disaster or other traumatic event. Death and trauma is highly prevalent in the work we do, which has increased in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the drug poisoning/overdose crisis. The experience of grief and loss is complex in the substance use disorder treatment field and is rarely addressed. This lecture series event will describe the grieving process, phases of grief, and what happens when the process is interrupted. Traumatic grief, suicide, and the impact of COVID-19 and overdose deaths experienced in the treatment and recovery field will also be discussed. Grief is conditioned by its dependence on an evolving cultural context, and cultural considerations will also be discussed. |
Objectives: At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the six (6) stages/phases of grief.
2. Describe at least two (2) ways grief and loss can impact your brain and physical health.
3. Identify at least three (3) strategies to help cope with grief and loss.
4. Name two (2) cultural considerations that may influence how to best support Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment Providers coping with grief and loss.
