PGT Workshops
Our workshops focus on the knowledge and skills needed to work with Prolonged Grief using Prolonged Grief Therapy, a short-term, targeted psychotherapy tested and proven efficacious in three large NIMH-funded randomized controlled trials.
The Big Picture: Principles and Procedures of PGT
This one-day workshop is designed to provide a conceptual framework for understanding grief and adaptation to the death of a loved one, generally and in relation to Prolonged Grief. We include strategies and procedures for screening, diagnosis, and assessment of individuals with PG and discuss how to differentiate this condition from major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. We provide an overview of Prolonged Grief Therapy (PGT) and introduce some simple, practical procedures that you can use in your practice.
