We have been closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 in our community and throughout the United States. In order to safeguard the health and well-being of our learners, faculty, staff and communities, we have made the decision to change the format of the Good Grief Conference to an online virtual event this year. No live in-person sessions will be held.

With the increased risk of exposure to COVID-19, containment measures, travel restrictions, and the need for health care providers to be in their facilities and in their communities, this change of format is necessary.

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.
