Join us for a transformative workshop, “The New Language of Grief,” where we explore a profound concept born from personal experience. President and Founder of Clear Mourning, Sarah Peterson, LCSW, offers insights gained from her own journey through the profound loss of her daughter and father.

This workshop dives deep into the disconnect that often occurs in our society, families, and closest relationships when it comes to grief. It empowers participants to recognize the language of their grief and helps supporters find pathways of connection and understanding of their grieving loved ones. Through compassionate understanding, we aim to bridge gaps and foster collaborative healing.

Who Is This For:

• Anyone navigating the complex terrain of grief.
• Supporters and caregivers seeking to provide more meaningful and empathetic connection and understanding with the grievers in your life.
• Professionals in the field of social work, counseling, or psychology looking to earn CEU credits while gaining valuable insights into grief support.
• Those looking to discover innovative tools for connecting and communicating with grievers.

What to Expect:

• Explore the multifaceted languages of grief, including Memories, Physical sensations, Imagery, Contemplation, discussions of the Afterlife, supernatural beliefs, and the art of Diversion.
• Gain insights into how these languages shape individual experiences of grief.
• Learn to assess your own unique grief language and how it affects your healing journey.
• Discover tools for building meaningful connections, differentiating between sympathy and empathy, and crafting personalized support strategies.
• Understand the power of naming your grief, allowing it to coexist with your life, and establishing healthy boundaries with your grief.
• Challenge conventional notions that grief work should cease the grieving process, dismiss others’ experiences, or allow untransformed pain to be transmitted.
• Earn 1.5 CEU credits, as this course is approved by the Oregon Chapter NASW, making it especially beneficial for professionals in social work, counseling, or psychology.

Join a diverse community of individuals, supporters, caregivers, and professionals, all committed to reshaping the conversation around grief.
