Partner Webinar: Traumatic and Sudden Loss

Cohosted by the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors and the Hospice Foundation of America

This webinar emphasizes the ways that sudden and traumatic deaths—experienced by accident, suicide, or combat—can complicate loss. There is a strong emphasis on interventive techniques focused on assisting survivors in coping with such losses.

Kim Ruocco of TAPS will focus on suicide and military deaths, and the impact of these types of deaths on bereavement.

Wanda Henry-Jenkins will discuss other traumatic losses , such as homicide. She will also discuss how hospices can serve as a community resource even in sudden loss. Both speakers will share specific interventive techniques that professionals can utilize when supporting survivors.

Traumatic and Sudden Loss is underwritten in part by Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). This program is part of the 2015-2016 HFA Education Partner package. Become a partner or find out more »
