Webinar Description:

In this presentation, Andrea will combine an understanding of the historical and intergenerational experiences of grief in Indigenous communities and traditional teachings about grief, with knowledge from the settler perspective on grief and grief counselling.  Participants will learn how different approaches can be blended to provide the best possible quality of service to grieving Indigenous peoples.
