Continuing Education Webinar: Life and Loss after Stroke

Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies is pleased to offer an online, continuing education webinar facilitated by

Dr. Natalie Randolph, DBH and Courtney Carver, LMSW

About the Webinar

Each year, approximately 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke. Stroke is among the leading causes of long term disability in the United States. After being discharged from the hospital, approximately 80% of stroke survivors return home to the care of family members. These individuals often must reevaluate and remake their self-identity (i.e., from husband or wife or son or daughter) in order to assume the role of “family caregiver.” Unfortunately, this new identity of family caregiver can be fleeting, as many survivors will pass away within the first few months of the stroke. For family caregivers, this can lead to guilt, doubt, and uncertainty about the contributions they can now make since they are no longer in the caregiving role. This distress, in turn, can result in poor adjustment and poor psychosocial outcomes.

The objective of this webinar is to use a “case and frame” approach to illustrate how what we understand from empirical research on this topic expresses itself in the “real world” of mental health practitioners.

Learning Objectives

  1. List health factors that contribute to the experience of stroke in patients; be able to identify the signs of stroke.
  2. Identify the grief and loss process from a caregiver perspective, and the differences in this experience for individuals coping with a loss.
  3. Identify best practice standards in integrated health care settings that highlight opportunities behavioral health professionals may have to assist patients and their families, especially in times of a global pandemic.
