The Mental Health Toolbox Series:

Supporting Grief, Loss, and Other Life Changing Transitions

The changing of seasons, in particular the approach of the holiday season, is often a time of struggle for those who have experienced loss. This second workshop of the series focuses on how to support individuals and families to move through loss (whether recent or in the past) and the resulting experience of grief. This session aims to expand participants’ awareness and understanding of what constitutes loss and how to recognize signs of grief. Participants will learn strategies focusing on acknowledging, validating, and supporting the emotional impact of grief in a way that honours the individuality and uniqueness of the emotional experience.

In this session, participants will discuss various loss experiences, including disenfranchised grief and unresolved grief that continue to negatively impact day to day life, and that often contribute to feeling stuck in grief. The session will walk participants through learning and skill building opportunities, providing participants with simple but powerful tools to support caregivers with all types of loss.
