How can we better understand and support grief when trauma is part of the experience? Building on Bereavement 101, this interactive, one-day virtual workshop explores how stress, past trauma, and the circumstances of a death can shape bereavement. We will consider grief following suicide, overdose, and other sudden or distressing deaths, and explore how attachment&mdash;the bonds we form with others&mdash;influences our responses to loss. Facilitated by Amy Pritzker, MSW, RSW, this workshop welcomes frontline workers, volunteers, and members of the public seeking a deeper understanding of grief. Through discussion, reflection, and practical examples, participants will explore compassionate ways to support grieving people while recognizing the impact this work can have on their own well-being. The session includes opportunities for questions and discussion.
