Month 4 - August 22nd: Letter Writing
This month, we’ll explore the use of unsent letters as a powerful grief intervention. Whether clients are writing to someone who has died, a person they’re estranged from, or even to parts of themselves, letter writing can foster emotional expression, connection, and meaning-making. You’ll learn how to structure and introduce letter writing practices, adapt them to different types of grief, and process what arises in a therapeutic setting.
Month 5 - September 26th: Putting It Together
In September, we’ll reflect on how to help clients make sense of what has surfaced in their grief journey so far—memories, regrets, identities, and relationships. You’ll learn clinical strategies for weaving narrative threads, recognizing moments of shift or insight, and supporting clients as they carry their grief forward.
Month 6 - October 24th: Special Cases
Grief is never one-size-fits-all. October’s session focuses on the complexities that can arise in grief. Therapists will deepen their understanding of how to validate and hold space for grief experiences that are layered, stigmatized, or socially invisible, and will leave with tools for navigating these cases with nuance and care.
