Supporting Families Through Their Grief, Loss & Change - Paperback

by Daphne Valcourt (Author)

Created for those experiencing grief and loss: This little book was created to help grieving families develop an understanding of the emotional turmoil they are experiencing, move through the stages of grief and focus on new beginnings and the changes that come with grief and loss. The book is entitled Supporting Individuals & Families Through Their Grief, Loss & Change because its purpose is to help individuals and families process their grief, accept their loss, make positive changes and move forward with their lives rather than stay stuck in the clutches of their grief and pain. With a heart of compassion, Dr Valcourt has combined her professional knowledge of grief and loss and draws on biblically based examples of characters who have experienced grief and loss to help those who are grieving navigate their way through the grief process and move from loss to self-discovery and spiritual growth. Dr Valcourt has doctoral degrees in social work and Christian counseling psychology. She is a New York State (NYS) licensed mental health counselor and NYS licensed marriage and family therapist and a United Kingdom certified social worker and teacher. Dr Valcourt is also an educator with over 35 years of experience in working with individuals, children and families. She has worked in various clinical and family focused settings with private agencies and city government both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Dr Valcourt continues in her efforts to transform lives from despair to fostering hope and recovery.
