Tending to Your Broken Heart When Someone Dies: Hope for Your Healing

The Art of "Companioning" the Mourner: Caring vs. Curing
This program will help members of the caregiving community enhance your knowledge and skills related to supporting people experiencing grief and loss. It is anchored in Dr. Wolfelt's "companioning" model of grief care, and a critical distinction between caring vs. curing will be outlined.
