‘Grief literacy’ is defined as "skills and knowledge that enable thoughtful action and compassionate care for those in need." In this workshop, participants will learn tangible skills for normalizing grief and supporting others to navigate the multi-layered landscapes of loss. Through a combination of didactic and interactive exercises and discussions, participants will explore the various faces and sources of grief and learn empathy-bridging tools that encourage person-centered care that is connective and affirming.
