Our societal avoidance of grief is what causes us to be stuck in the pain of loss becau se grieving is how we create a path forward as we process difficult emotio ns\, adapt to unwanted changes\, develop coping ability\, and build resili ence. This Grief &\; Loss Series is a comprehensive\, six-session cours e that teaches grieving as an essential life skill\, enables caregivers to offer grief-informed care\, and equips participants with strategies and tools to effectively support people living with loss.\n \;\n\nInstruc tor: Wendy Kessler\, Grief Expert\nWendy is a Grief Specialist. She is cre dentialed as a Fellow in Thanatology (the study of death\, dying\, and ber eavement) by the Association of Death Education and Counseling and is cert ified as a Mental Health First Aid Instructor by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. Wendy’s approach to grief work is characterized by non judgmental\, compassionate\, strengths-based counseling and the belief tha t grieving is an essential life skill that must be learned. Her support se rvices include individual counseling\, group facilitation\, team training\ , and corporate consulting. When the path forward through loss is uncertai n\, it helps to have a guide.\n \;\n\n \;\n\nDescription:While gri ef is the most universal experience human beings share\, how we process lo ss and feel supported is highly unique. This session will highlight how pe rsonality\, temperament\, attachment style\, and culture create our person al grieving style.
