Please view our in-person event protocols.

This activity is planned with the assumption that mass gatherings will be permitted by the activity date, with social distancing requirements and rigorous cleaning procedures needing to be followed. The number of available seats will be limited to ensure social distancing can be maintained during the activity. In addition, the live stream option will be available to allow learners to receive the educational content without attending the activity in-person.

We will continue to monitor guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Adjustments to the number of seats available may be made to accommodate more or fewer attendees per guidelines to ensure the activity is held in a safe and responsible manner. Updates will be posted as available.

The Good Grief Conference is designed to educate and equip interprofessional healthcare teams, chaplains, volunteer caregivers, or anyone working with those experiencing grief, whether related to health crises, chronic or life-changing situations, end of life or bereavement issues.

This activity is designed for interprofessional team members, including nurses, physicians, social workers and chaplains who are involved in working with patients who have life-limiting illnesses and/or have need of palliative care, as well as their families.

1. Describe the impact of collective grief on communities and apply best practices for trauma-informed care.
2. List diverse styles of grief and describe their connection to cultural expressions of loss.
3. Identify avenues for practicing self-care to avoid burnout and address effects of moral distress.
4. Discuss strategies for engaging all resources of the team to support healthy collaboration.
