SUMMARY:Wait\, My Grief Has a Shape? | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join Highmark Caring Place on August 5 for their webinar\, “Wait\, My Grief Has a Shape? Understanding the Loss Experience for Our Children and Ourselves.” \nAbout\nGrief is often experienced not as a set of linear stages\, but as a spiral where emotions come and go in intensity. In their webinar\, Highmark Caring Place will discuss the spiral shape of grief and explain the differences in these spirals between adults and children. In understanding our grief experiences\, and those of our children\, we are better able to manage our own grief and support others in their grief journeys. \nLearning Objectives\nBy attending\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\nrecognize the distinctions between various models of grief\,\nidentify common grief responses\, and\ndiscuss the differences in grief between adults and children.\n\n\n\nRegistration\nTo register\, visit the event webpage. Registrations must be submitted no later than Tuesday\, August 4. \nMore Information\nFor questions\, contact Patrick McKelvey at patrick.mckelvey@highmark.com. \nShare this flyer with your network.
