Frontline work is both rewarding and demanding, requiring a
deep commitment to helping others. To sustain this meaningful work, it's
essential to build resilience and safeguard your well-being. This full-day,
in-person workshop is designed specifically for frontline workers, offering an
interactive and practical experience.
In this workshop, you'll engage in hands-on activities and
discussions that delve into the realities of stress, compassion fatigue, and
burnout. We'll explore strategies to enhance your mental resilience and create
sustainable practices in your daily work. With a focus on real-world
application, you'll leave with a toolkit of practical skills and approaches to
maintain your well-being while continuing to provide compassionate care.
Join us for a day of learning, self-reflection, and
connection with fellow professionals. We will make sure to provide and ensure a comfortable and nourishing
environment as we work together to cultivate resilience and well-being in our
work.

A residual effect from a primary loss, secondary losses are usually non-death related, such as loss of stability, financial independence, purpose, and support systems (to name a few). These secondary losses often go unrecognized with their significance overlooked, leaving people to at times feel ashamed, alone, invalidated, and alienated. This interactive session will explain the domino effects that occur after a primary loss. Participants to this session will learn how secondary losses are compounded to add to a griever’s overwhelming primary loss, in addition to learning about how they can better support grievers, equipped with an understanding of the intricacies of secondary losses.
