Professionals are frequently involved in emotionally challenging events involving loss of life, serious injury and other personal crises. There are often expectations placed upon us to provide leadership and direction for families and other team members. Unfortunately, most professionals are not taught how to break bad news, We understand that bad news can devastate a family system. However, the manner in which we deliver this news can have a profound impact on healing and recovery. During this workshop, participants will learn the definition of crisis and develop strategies for clear, compassionate and effective communication.
