Description: Loss and grief are common and often come up during primary care encounters. Grief can be caused by separations, incapacity, bereavement, migration, job loss, birth, retirement, or professional loss. We will focus on addressing grief related to the loss of a loved one in this webinar. One-third of people affected by loss can experience physical or mental health problems, such as increased risk of heart disease, suicide, psychosomatic disorders, and psychiatric issues. However, loss can also lead to personal growth. Behavioral Health Consultants can help PCPs and patients prepare for grief and build coping skills for better health outcomes.
