Introducing the SVN Premium Webinar Series. These webinars will be offered by recruiting experts who will be asked to develop their content to be relevant to the world of supervised visitation, with a small fee charged for members to attend to offset the costs. These will NOT take the place of the SVN free webinar series, but rather, are meant to help us feature more advanced topics and experts on supervised visitation (parenting time) and adjacent professions.
August 22, 2023, at 1 PM - 2:30 PM EST
Title: Facing Client Death: Emotions & Ethics
Cost: $10 Members / $25 NonMembers
For many helping professionals, considering the death of a client brings with it a myriad of reactions. In this interactive webinar, participants will have the opportunity to engage with what is likely an experience many will have in their careers. Taking the time to explore our own emotions and fears, identify the parameters of our roles, and learn how grieving ethically might look can help us to better navigate this area of client care.
