Session 4 - Homemakers: Navigating Grief & Loss (6-week virtual drop-in series)

Please join Trish Meekins, MSW RSW, for a 6-week journey of sharing, learning and navigating through grief and loss for homemakers workers. As homemakers, you often experience grief and loss at a substantially higher rate compared to other places of employment, and we recognize how vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue impacts frontline workers so we have created this drop-in series to support you in a safe space. Come as you are, whether you are looking for connection and conversation, or to listen in a place of healing, all are welcome.

Sessions are offered virtually through Microsoft Teams and open to all homemakers. Everyone is encouraged to attend as many of the dates in the series as your schedule allows.
