Northwest Grief & Bereavement Community of Practice Education Series – Grief Literacy: Increasing Our Ability to Support One Another in Our Grief

November 13 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Session Info:

Grief is a universal experience, yet it is often misunderstood and experienced in isolation. This session explores how greater grief literacy can help us feel more confident supporting others – and ourselves – after loss.
Through discussion and reflection, participants will consider practical ways to build workplaces and communities that recognize grief as a shared human experience and respond with understanding and care.

Speaker Bio:

Susan Cadell is a social work researcher and adjunct professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Susan is passionate about talking about grief. She does research about positive aspects of stress and coping in various health situations. She focuses on grief through exploring making meaning, spirituality, palliative care and tattoos of all kinds.
