Presenter: Dr Kenneth Doka

Not all grief is openly acknowledged, socially supported, or publicly mourned. Disenfranchised grief occurs when a loss, a relationship, or a griever is not recognised or validated by society, leaving individuals to grieve in isolation and silence.

This webinar explores disenfranchised grief in contemporary contexts, examining the cultural, social, and relational factors that contribute to disenfranchisement. Participants will gain an understanding of how disenfranchised grief complicates the mourning process and increases the risk of complicated grief reactions. The session places strong emphasis on practical and ethical interventive strategies that can help enfranchise grief and restore meaning, connection, and support.
