About the event
Dr Alan Wolfelt is a world-renowned grief educator, speaker, and author. His model of companioning the bereaved rather than treating the bereaved is an absolute breath of fresh air for counselors, lay caregivers, and especially for the bereaved themselves! Our time together will include sharing what we are learning, ideas for how we would interact with suicide loss survivors in various situations, examples of real situations, and a time to connect with fellow postvention volunteers and counselors across the state.
