Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Grief

About

Join Kaylee Kron, LMSW Certified Grief Counselor on Thursday, June 27th for an engaging webinar on Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Grief.

These emotional and psychological experiences profoundly impact countless lives, yet they remain widely misunderstood, and at times being used interchangeably. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of PTSD and grief, providing insights that are crucial for mental health awareness and effective support.

PTSD and grief are deeply personal experiences that can shape one's life in profound ways. Understanding these conditions is essential not only for those who are directly affected but also for friends, family, and caregivers who seek to provide meaningful support. This webinar will illuminate the nuances of PTSD and grief, helping you recognize, differentiate, and approach these conditions with empathy and knowledge.

Key Takeaways:

Differentiating PTSD and Grief: Understand the fundamental differences between PTSD, a condition triggered by traumatic events with persistent symptoms like flashbacks and severe anxiety, and grief, a natural emotional response to loss that typically progresses from acute pain to gradual acceptance.

Overlap and Shared Symptoms: Learn about the overlapping symptoms and shared emotional responses between PTSD and grief, such as intrusive thoughts and avoidance behaviors, and explore how these conditions can coexist, especially in cases of traumatic loss.

Effective Assessment and Treatment:
Gain insights into the assessment tools and treatment approaches for both PTSD and grief, including psychotherapy methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), medications, and the importance of personalized, integrated treatment plans for individuals experiencing both conditions.

Kaylee Kron

LMSW, Certified Grief Counselor

Kaylee holds a masters of social work and is a certified grief counselor through the American Institute for Healthcare Professionals. For the past decade, Kaylee has worked to change the way we understand, process, and support grief.

As a grief counselor at a local nonprofit hospice, Kaylee had the privilege of walking alongside grievers as a companion; uplifting each individual as the expert of their own story. Each person she met during this time further confirmed to her that we grieve so much more than losses suffered through the death of a lived one. In each and every individual session, family grief session, support group, and memorial event, Kaylee found that an individual's life is colored by grief in all forms - relationships, roles, hopes for the future, and changes to the story they believed about what their life would look like.

Today, Kaylee continues her work as an author, public speaker, and community organizer of large scale events that create space for each attendee to look back at life most difficult moments, and the pain they felt, and say "that is grief".

Kaylee has been featured in articles, podcasts, community trainings, online courses, and magazines giving voice to feelings of grief and expanding our community's understanding of the many losses that cause grief throughout our lives.
