Topic: Understanding Loss and Managing Grief
Loss comes in many forms in our lives. How you manage loss, however, can have a great impact on your life.
As part of our journey through life, we will eventually also experience the loss of life of someone we know, love or care about. While natural, this loss can be one some people have difficulty managing.
Join us while we share the webinar, Understanding Loss and Managing Grief, which covers various aspects of loss and how you can manage some of the accompanying emotions.
The presenter in this webinar is Howard R. Winokuer, PhD, LPC, NCC. Dr. Winokuer was the co-founder of TO LIFE, a not-for-profit educational and counseling organization that specialized in issues dealing with grief and loss. He is also the Immediate Past President of The Association for Death Education and Counseling. Winokuer has written numerous articles on topics such as coping with grief, relationships and aging. He has recently completed a book entitled A Simple Guide to Peaceful Living.
We will also be discussing the many advocacy and fundraising initiatives taking place over the course of 2011! If you are interested in finding out what is happening within the Toronto Chapter and how best to get involved, this is the place to be!
