Dealing with Grief (non-death)
Monday, November 15, 2:00p.m.-3:00p.m.
When we think about grief and loss, we usually think about the death of someone. However, there are many other types of losses (loss of a job, a relationship, etc.) We also experienced many types of losses with the COVID pandemic (loss of social support, etc.) This workshop will discuss some of other types of losses and healthy coping mechanisms.

Healthy Relationships

Relationships are a cornerstone of the human experience. Whether they are romantic or based on friendship, they are a basic human need.
