Learn more, as this is part of The First Step Act
| Program Description Taken from The First Step Act Approved Program Guide 1/2022 | Complicated Grief Treatment (CGT) is a structured 16-session psychotherapy program designed to treat individuals with prolonged grief symptoms by promoting healing milestones and addressing individuals who are “stuck” adapting to loss. The underlying assumption of the intervention is that grief is a universal life event. Treatment focuses on two areas: 1) restoration of effective functioning by generating enthusiasm for the future, and 2) helping patients think about the death without evoking intense feelings of anger, guilt, or anxiety. The seven core components include: understanding grief, managing painful emotions, thinking about the future, strengthening relationships, telling the story of the death, learning to live with reminders, and remembering the person who died. |
