Description

Please join us on Tuesday, December 4, 1:00-3:00 PM for Addressing Grief and Loss with Children and Parents.

Grief is the common equalizer. We all experience grief and loss at some point in our lives, but many of us do not know how to process it. As counseling professionals, we often do not know how to help our grieving clients. In this presentation, we will discuss grief beyond the five stages, what's normal in grieving kids, grief during the holidays, and the mission of The WARM Place. Professionals will leave with an awareness of the realities of grief and practical tools and resources to help their grieving clients.
