Bijdrage van ARQ Centrum'45

Very happy to be in Dublin for the second European Grief Conference 2024 around the development and implementation of effective and culturally sensitive bereavement care responses around Europe. The conference will be structured around a four-tiered needs-based bereavement care model (see below): Level 0: Society: Grief Literacy, Advocacy & Community (societal grief literacy & awareness). Here public education about grief empowers individuals, communities, and decision-makers to increase the public’s understanding of bereavement and support needs of bereaved persons. Level 1: Normal Grief: General Awareness & Support (general support & Information) Here the focus is on having access to information and adequate support, for example, available from family, social, and care networks. Level 2: Bereavement Support: Prevention & Risk Factors (extra support) A range of identifiable risk factors contribute to the fact that some bereaved people need additional organized support, for example in the form of peer-led groups, psycho-education in community settings. Level 3: Complicated grief reactions: Diagnosis & Treatment (therapy support). Smaller proportions of bereaved people with additional stressors and disruptions to their grief will require specialist therapeutic responses Proud to join in name of ARQ Centrum'45 together with Geert Smid and Paul Boelen who will be presenting about grief after physician-assisted death, resp. cognitive behavioral correlates in children.
