PLEASE NOTE: The Zoom link will be sent out at least 24 hours before the workshop on Nov. 13.
Live attendance is preferred for opportunities for group interaction, but the session will be recorded and sent out if you are unable to make it to the session live.
Foundational Workshop Objectives:
Dr. MC McDonald will be sharing strategies and tools that will be helpful for yourself and to use with your clients, all about processing and healing from loss. Some topics will include:
1. The six needs of the grieving
2. Witnessing loss rather than fixing it
3. Creating small, meaningful rituals of remembrance & connection.
