Workshop: Homicide and the Impact on the Family
Date/Time: Thursday, May 16, 2024, 9:15 a.m. – 4:15 p.m.
Location: Online
Description:
This Irish Hospice Foundation Bereavement Workshop will explore the devastating effect homicide has on the family. Homicide holds no boundaries and affects all aspects of Irish Society. For many bereaved by homicide, the immediate aftermath of the death is only the beginning.
This workshop will map out the difficult road the family have to travel. This workshop will help participants understand the traumatic, complex, and prolonged nature of homicide. The workshop will be both experiential and theoretical and suitable for professionals working with adults.
A unique feature of being bereaved by homicide is that at a time of terrible tragedy, of trauma and of deep emotion, as families take in the loss of someone close to them, the Criminal Justice System starts to move into action and the family can lose a sense of control.
Presenter: Liam Neville, qualified Psychotherapist (IACP) and Supervisor (IACP) and coordinator of the HSE Bereavement Service for Sligo/Leitrim
