IPT Summer Camps 2024
Our camps are open to children of all abilities looking to refine their skills this summer. Formal evaluations will not be completed but a group goal will be defined.
Feeding:
Food Explorers: Join us for cooking club with the aim to provide a trusting and supportive environment, with peer support, as new foods are explored. We’ll be prepping, cooking, and finding joy while engaging with foods. With a responsive feeding eye your child will be invited to engage with food at an individual level which encourages autonomy, confidence, and a little stretch. All while having fun socializing with others. This camp is open to all ages 5 and older as we believe older and younger children can model for each other different strengths in this setting.
Non-Death Loss and Grief: Unique Issues and Clinical Implications
Grief occurs after the death of someone we love, and it is also manifest in the midst of losses that may not be as obvious or easily described. Clients come to us while dealing with issues such as dementia, infertility, family estrangement or divorce. These are living losses—the loss experiences and their accompanying ambiguity that we must learn to live with as we continue with our lives. Some living losses are readily apparent, such as the loss of functionality, loss of roles, or the absence of loved ones through other means than death. Other losses may not be so obvious, such as the loss of our hopes and dreams, our innocence, our beliefs, or our vision of how we thought life should or would be. Utilizing case studies and examples, we will identify the unique features and implications of many types of non-death losses.
A framework for supporting patients and families who experience chronic sorrow, nonfinite loss, and ambiguous loss will be presented, emphasizing clinical applications and practice.
Supported by the Lauri S. Bauer Foundation for Sudden Loss.
