This course qualifies for CAMFT CEUs.   Over the last few years, there has been more recognition of the significant impact that multiple types of loss have had on us and our clients. This often shows up for our clients as fatigue, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, somatic pain, sleeping problems and more.

We will discuss the new DSM 5-TR diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder and factors that put our clients at risk.  Grief affects us all cognitively, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
