This is an excellent training and I highly recommend it. I participated in last
year's program where researcher/clinicians from Israel and Palestine delivered
many of the program's lectures. For students who are first responders to
humanitarian crisis, post violent conflict situations..., this training could be
beneficial.

Restorative Retelling: An Innovative Treatment for Prolonged Grief After
Violent Death

Virginia Mason Medical Center's Separation and Loss Services will hold
a two-day national meeting in Seattle, Washington.

Restorative Retelling, a promising treatment intervention for
complicated grief after violent death, has been applied at multiple
national sites. This meeting, featuring researchers/clinicians actively
engaged in restorative retelling interventions after violent death, will
clarify the specific, restorative techniques for stabilization,
commemoration, restorative re-exposure and meaningful reengagement.

The plenary lectures will focus on instilling resilience and spotlight
creative innovations (journaling, poetry, drawing) in processing death
imagery and the restorative potential of spirituality. A panel of
clinicians working in various clinical contexts (school-based,
home-based, district attorney's office, outpatient settings, grief
centers, faith-based centers, prison and juvenile detention and
post-disaster 9/11) will share their work, their triumphs and their
challenges.

We welcome clinicians, clergy, first responders, victims' assistance
representatives and other providers who work with families after a
sudden, violent death.
