Addressing Grief in Healthcare: A Workshop for Providers

Healthcare providers often navigate grief in ways that are rarely acknowledged. Whether mourning the loss of a patient, a colleague, or experiencing the emotional toll of caregiving, the impact of grief in healthcare is profound.

To support those working in the field, CERAH recently hosted a half-day workshop titled, Supporting the Grief Journey of Healthcare Providers: It’s in the Work, bringing together professionals to explore the complexities of grief and self-care in their roles.

The workshop featured a keynote presentations by Eugene Dufour, psychosocial spiritual clinician specializing in grief. Additionally, attendees participated in concurrent self-care sessions led by Kim Ramsbottom (Mushkiki Box Painting) and Erin May (Vagal Yoga/Breathing). These sessions focused on creative outlets for processing grief and practical tools for managing stress, and maintaining emotional balance in demanding work environments.
