Hilton Minneapolis / 2022 NCFR Annual Conference
NCFR has added a postconference workshop to its conference lineup on ambiguous loss theory with Pauline Boss, Ph.D., who first pioneered this theory.
The goal of this workshop is to equip a new generation of qualified ambiguous loss experts, using a "train the trainers" approach. It is intended for family therapists, clinicians, and other educators already familiar with the basics of ambiguous loss theory and ready for case study applications.
Add any pre- or post conference workshop when you register for the conference, or register for this postconference by itself.
