Grief is prevalent in the military community due to the frequent exposure to loss—whether through combat, accidents, or the emotional toll of separation from loved ones. Additionally, the high-stress environment and culture of resilience can make it difficult for service members to openly process and express their grief. This webinar explores how nonmedical counseling can support service members and their families during the unique grief experiences which are common in the military community.

Crisis intervention can be especially helpful for practitioners supporting the military because it equips them to respond swiftly and effectively to acute emotional distress, such as trauma, grief, or suicidal ideation.

In this 75-minute live webinar, participants will learn about common crisis intervention frameworks and explore examples of these concepts applied to nonmedical counseling settings which support service members.
