Companioning the Mourner in Early Grief: Principles & Practices
This informative workshop will be helpful to participants who want to learn more about supporting people experiencing acute grief. The content will enhance your grief-informed body of knowledge surrounding the “crazy-making symptoms” of grief. The specific focus on early grief and beyond will enhance your helping role utilizing the Companioning Model developed by the presenter, Dr. Alan Wolfelt.
You will have the opportunity to learn the art of how to normalize the experiences that often leave the mourner questioning their sanity, without minimizing what they are going through. This workshop will enhance your capacity to bring those in grief the compassion and support they need and deserve.
