Listen Later

In this episode, Jeannette Diaz, MPH, MS, RDHAP, RDH shares what grief literacy is and why it's important to healthcare professionals. Jeannette currently works as a dental liaison for the California Department of Developmental Services. She also owns and operates a portable dental hygiene practice that primarily serves older adults and people with special healthcarehealth-care needs. Jeannette is also an adjunct faculty at the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene’s online graduate program at MCPHS University.

As dental hygienists, there will be times in our career that we encounter grief in our personal lives. Do we know how to cope? How can we continue to provide high quality care while grieving? Am I equipped with tools to help me while grieving? These are all questions we should be asking ourselves as healthcare professionals.

Every day we talk to our patients and build patient rapport. We learn about their day to day and get to hear about exciting milestones. But what about when our patients experience loss? Do we know how to respond? Are we equipped to have that conversation with our patients?
This is where Jeannette has raised awareness about grief literacy. Throughout this episode she provides helpful tips and tools on how we can speak to our patients and ourselves while grieving. If you are a hygienist or healthcare professional, you don't want to miss this episode!
