The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life is co-hosting with the Office of Case Management a 1.5 hour in person training for staff and faculty, “How to Support Grieving Students on Campus” with free lunch available afterwards. This 1.5 hour experiential, interactive workshop will encourage participants to explore their own history of and beliefs about grief. We will examine how our own beliefs effect the way we support others and learn strategies to be present to those who are in pain.
