“I Don't Know What to Say”: Strategies for
Supporting Someone who is Grieving - $29 (+ tax)
With Andrea Warnick
Do you have a relative, friend, colleague, or acquaintance who has experienced the death of someone close to them? Despite having the best intentions, some people inadvertently say things that can create challenges for the grieving person. Sometimes people don't say anything at all out of a fear of saying the wrong thing which can contribute to a sense of isolation for the griever.
In this webinar you will learn:
-
Ways that grief can manifest
-
Concrete tips and strategies for effectively supporting someone who is grieving
-
What not to say to someone who is grieving the dying or death of someone in their life

Standing in the Fire: Supporting Children and Youth who are Greiving a Death
With Andrea Warnick
9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Cost: $228.51 (early bird rate until Aug 30, 2016)
The death of a significant person represents one of the most powerful disruptions in all aspects of a child or youth’s emotional existence. Yet few professionals, whether in the field of mental health, medicine, or education, receive formal training on how to support children and youth who are grieving a death.
This seminar will identify common barriers to supporting children and youth who are grieving, and will highlight practical strategies that can be used in a variety of settings to help children and youth integrate the reality of the death into their lives in a healthy way. The session will include stories and important messages from children, youth, and their families that illustrate “best practice” guidelines for supporting the mental health of children who are grieving.
