Activity: Grief Feels Like...

Grief feels different for everyone. This spring, we've been sharing what Dougy Center children and teens say grief feels like to them. Look for special posts on Dougy Center's Facebook and Instagram pages.

Dougy Center webinar explores grief through an intersectional lens

Grief is contextual — it is influenced and impacted by personal and social factors. Identity is multifaceted and this intersectionality can create complex encounters or paradoxical experiences for people when they are grieving.


Join Dougy Center for the upcoming grief education webinar, Context Matters: Navigating Grief Through an Intersectional Lens, where we will explore inclusive practices to support people who are grieving and the multifaceted layers that can impact grief.


The webinar is April 9 at 10 a.m. PDT. The cost is $65 per person. Register here before 10 a.m. PDT on April 8.
