Webinar: Supporting Others Experiencing Illness and Grief

Do you find yourself fumbling with words when trying to support others experiencing illness and grief? If so, you're not alone. We all struggle with expressing our thoughts at times, and with such challenging topics as these, it's even more common.

Our friends at Imerman Angels not only have struggled with this too, but they've heard from many other people that said the same. They've partnered with Zen Caregiving Project for "Supporting Others Experiencing Illness and Grief," a free online session March 2, 2022 from 5 to 6 p.m. PST.
