Description

Lifetime friends, role models and confidants. The bond between siblings is one of the most important we’ll ever experience.

But sibling loss is one of the most unacknowledged and minimized losses today…and more of these “forgotten mourners” than ever before are looking for therapists who can provide specialized care.

That’s why certified thanatologist and expert in sibling loss Stephanie Pearce created this training program…

…so you can use her complete toolkit and session-by-session plans to become a go-to provider for bereaved siblings trying to find their way in a new and lonely world.

Stephanie will show you what to do from the very first session. From the questions you need to ask to customize your work to the interventions and exercises to walk alongside them on their grief journeys, you’ll end this training ready to:

  • Keep clients’ connection with their siblings alive in meaningful ways
  • Tackle delayed grieving and the feelings that often get swept under the rug
  • Work with the disenfranchised grief so common in these clients
  • Work with suicide bereaved siblings, twin loss, and loss due to addiction
  • Use resourcing techniques, creative arts activities, and meaning making exercises
  • Help clients manage shifting roles & relationships in their families
  • And much more!

And with case studies, practical suggestions and video demonstrations from actual client sessions and interactions, this course makes it easy to digest all you’ll learn and immediately apply it to your own work.

So many clients are looking for care from someone who “gets it” after they’ve lost a brother or sister.

So don’t wait to get the specialized training you need to confidently and effectively work with grieving siblings.
