caring for others and ourselves in a time of loss

As we enter year two of this pandemic, we have been living in a culture defined by the loss of so many things we used to take for granted. While vaccines will help us fight the physical threat of the virus, the emotional and psychological threats we have experienced will need addressed as move forward and beyond COVID-19.

This workshop will focus on how we might address the residual and ongoing emotional and psychological suffering that our clientele, family, friends, and neighbors are combating as well as our own professional and personal needs.
