Acknowledging Invisible Grief in Times of Uncertainty
What is grief, and what is considered a loss?
Grief has been compounded throughout the pandemic, and has brought about many types of losses and deaths, such as losing a loved one or a friend, a job, an identity, a routine, or anything else that has left our lives.
In this webinar, registered social worker, therapist and Grief Education Program Lead Karima Joy will define grief literacy and examine invisible losses, as well as some of the barriers to naming grief.
Connect with us as we explore strategies for acknowledging grief, both personally and professionally.
