John Koop - CTRI Crisis & Trauma Resource Institute Inc (CTRI): Walking with Grief – Helping Others Deal with Loss
Every person will experience grief and loss – a profound sense of final separation from something or someone important. This workshop is designed to give helpers an increased awareness of the dynamics of grief, and to provide tools and strategies to best support someone who is grieving. Cultural and popular understandings of grief and loss, and the influences these have on how we experience and work with grief will be explored.
Linda Fehr - BTHC Palliative Care Program Volunteer
Linda will speak to us, based on personal experience, the volunteer’s role in palliative care including grief and bereavement support.
Jeff Dubois - Funeral Director, Mackenzie Funeral Services
Jeff started working in the funeral profession in 2004 and will share valuable information about his role as a funeral director, some of his experiences and interactions with families after the death of a loved one, including grief and bereavement support.
