Teaching Seminar: Addressing the Grief and Ambiguity of Sudden Deaths and Missing Persons

21 April 2014-

 

Grief support of the families of sudden deaths and the MH370 missing passengers is best provided by counselors, relatives and friends as a community. This is a non-religious teaching seminar to educate concerned parties on how to support these grieving family members. By attending the seminar themselves, the family members will also benefit in learning how to manage their own grief and those of their children in a more helpful and healthy manner.
