Making Meaning of Client Loss: Considerations for the Clinician and Supervisor
This presentation will focus on the high client mortality rate seen in individuals with serious mental illness and community mental health centers. Presenters will describe and normalize the experience of losing clients and grieving for them, highlight the importance of openness, reflection, and meaning-making throughout the grief process, explore ways of integrating the loss into the therapist’s experience as a clinician and supervisor, and address challenges and barriers to grief and meaning-making in a CMHC setting. Case examples will be offered in a de-identified manner to illustrate the experience of client loss from a clinician and supervisor perspective.
Learning Objectives:

1. Describe and normalize the experience of losing clients and grieving for them, regardless of cause of death.
2. Utilize concrete strategies in supervising individuals who experience the loss of a client.
3. Apply a framework for making sense of client loss and integrating it into clinicians' professional identity and future work.
4. Identify challenges and barriers to grief and meaning-making in a CMHC setting.
