Grief touches all of us - but too often Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind folks face it without access to information, support, or spaces that truly understand their experiences.
As part of our Living in Full Bloom: Fostering Self-Care & Self-Growth workshop series, we are honored to partner with RHA Behavioral Health Services to offer a community conversations on grief. This workshop will explore how grief shows up in our lives and how we can begin to process it in healthy, meaningful ways.
Led by Dr. Julianne Gold Brunson, Psychologist with RHA Behavioral Services, this workshop will introduce common experiences of grief, practice coping strategies, and ways to access support. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of their own experiences and tools to support their emotional well-being.
This presentation is free!
Dr. Gold Brunson will present in ASL. Spoken English interpreting will be provided.
