Evgenia "Jane" Milman
Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Psychology department at Wilfrid Laurier University, specializing in Clinical Psychology. I am also a practicing licensed psychologist and an affiliated scientist at the MacDonald Franklin Operational Stress Injury Research Center.
Prior to joining Laurier, I completed a SSHRC and a CIHR funded Post Doctoral Fellowship in a joint position at Western University and the Center for the Advancement of Bereavement Care at the University of Miami. I completed my Honours BSc in Physiology and Psychology at the University of Toronto as well as an MA and PhD in Counselling Psychology at McGill University.
In addition to my scholarly and clinical work, I am committed to building capacity among frontline mental health professionals in the provision of evidence-informed bereavement care. I deliver professional training workshops for clinicians, serve as Practicum Faculty at the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition, and serve as a Board Member at the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC), where I also direct the continuing education webinar series for grief professionals. I am co-editor of the Handbook of Grief Therapies (SAGE Publications), which offers a review of grief therapy approaches for seasoned clinicians, and co-author of the 4th edition of Principles and Practice of Grief Counselling (Springer), which offers a foundational overview of grief-informed therapy practices for novice mental health professionals.
