The first of this three-part series begins with practical techniques for rostered and lay leaders as they continue to face loss both personal and professional.
Are you currently a clergyperson, deacon, or lay minister wrestling with loss during our current pandemic? How do you manage your own grief in the midst of caring for others also experiencing loss? This workshop provides strategies and interventions for caregivers seeking to practice self-care and resist transference and projection in their ministry. Thus, grief can be good and complicated…join us to receive help navigating this journey.
