13th Annual Grief Seminar, "Creating Community by Embracing Diversity"

Ryan's Place

Ryan's Place in partnership with the Goshen College Social Work Program, invite you to join us for this year's 13th Annual Grief Seminar, "Creating Community by Embracing Diversity." We will be exploring the diversity of grief experiences through types of loss (i.e., divorce, incarceration) as well as the diversity of people experiencing grief. 
This year's keynote speaker will be Gilberto Perez, Senior Director of Intercultural Development &amp; Educational Partnerships at Goshen College. Gilberto's keynote will focus on how a welcoming environment for Latino immigrants was created in the midst of cultural and life adjustments, loss, and integration. Stories will be shared on how to effectively support Latino immigrants that experience loss and at the same time desire connections and relationships with their new friends and community.
