I’m excited to share that I’ll be participating in advanced training in Prolonged Grief Treatment (PGT) through Columbia University’s Center for Prolonged Grief.
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is a newer DSM-5-TR diagnosis. It doesn’t label normal grief as disordered - instead, it helps guide care when grief becomes persistent and significantly impairing.
PGT is a structured, evidence-based treatment supported by multiple NIMH-funded trials, designed to help people move through “stuck” grief with support, clarity, and meaning.
Continuing education is part of ethical practice, and grief care should evolve as the research does.
