Loss and grief, though painful, are a universal part of human experience and yet also profoundly unique. Service professionals across areas of practice will inevitably encounter people who are experiencing grief in reaction to some type of loss whether it is a relationship, an ability, a community, a culture, and/or the sense of a just world. This course will explore these varied forms of loss and the many ways individuals, families and communities grieve those losses. We will discuss resilience as nurtured and sustained through connection and examine the enormous positive societal impact those who are grieving have made and continue to make in our community, in our nation, and across the globe.
