William Cooke and colleagues Margotte Kaczanowska and Suzanne Thompson were invited by Angel Yuen, to teach a module on Narrative Therapy and Grief at the annual Narrative Therapy Center Summer School July 9th-12, 2012 in Toronto. Approximately 75 people participated.
They presented “Goodbye and Hello: Narrative Therapy and Grief”. Here is the description of that presentation: The workshop combined theory, participant exercises and a live Narrative interview with a workshop participant and four Outsider Witnesses. The leaders led a follow-up group with a dozen Summer School alumni in the fall of 2012 to provide an opportunity to learn about and experience these concepts in a small group setting. Similar workshops have been provided to: The Bereavement Ontatio Network Annual Conference (a full day pre-conference workshop); Dr. Olga Sutherland's graduate class in the Couple and Family Therapy program at the University of Guelph; the clinical team of the Max and Bea Wolfe children's bereavement program at the Temmy Latner Centre for Pallitative Care at Mt. Sinai Hospital. |
