Description:

When a co-worker is affected by loss in their personal life, it can be difficult knowing how to approach them at work and offer support during this challenging period. It can be confusing for co-workers and managers to balance workplace expectations with the very real need for mourning.

This workshop will explore:

•          typical grief reactions.

•          misconceptions of grief.

•          strategies for supporting those who are grieving.

•          strategies for the bereaved

Participants will learn the difference between grief and mourning, factors influencing the grief process and how to create a workplace culture of compassion.
