"How are you?" This question has become more difficult to ask and answer during the pandemic. With employees returning to workplaces, it's important to consider how to make our words and actions match our good intentions of supporting those who are grieving. 

This insightful webinar will cover:
  • Grief and the impact of Covid
  • The impact of grief on workplaces, both healthcare and non-healthcare locations
  • Strategies for navigating various workplace scenarios
  • Examples of Employee Assistance Program support throughout the pandemic
  • Lessons from grief and mental health programs instituted by Adventist Healthcare

Eva Cowen, who previously served as the Community Resource Specialist for The Whole You, was recently named Director of Camp Erin. Her depth of experience ensuring inclusivity in camp programs will help Camp Erin meet the evolving and growing needs for children's grief support.
Dr. Aditi Menon-Broker joins CaringMatters staff as the new Clinical Director for Camp Erin.
