Grief 101

Saint Philip’s affiliate clergy, The Rev’d Frank Williams, will lead a free, virtual workshop on loss and grief from 10:00am-11:30am on Saturday, October 7.

This interactive class is designed for people from all walks of life who occasionally find themselves in the company of someone in grief—an adult, child, client, patient, or friend—and want to provide comfort and care. This class will convey contemporary information about grief support, as well as teach skills and best practices you will easily remember when the need arises.

This class will enable you to effectively build upon your knowledge and skills when participating in future TLC classes that specialize in various types of losses.
