The Pacific Southwest MHTTC welcomes you to this unique four-part “text study series” in which we dive into the starter kit and, through dialogue, discourse, and discussion, explore ways in which we can become more grief ready. We’ll spend time with the practical activities and strategies you can employ as well as reflection questions to drive the work. Find out more & register for the series!

I don’t know if you’ve connected with the School Crisis Recovery and Renewal Project, and wanted to be sure that you are aware of their incredible work and supportive offerings. I’ve been fortunate to partner with Leora Wolf-Prusan over the last year and highly recommend her organization’s work. If you would like an introduction to Leora to explore support for TTSD staff and students, I’d be glad to make that happen. They work directly with districts post crisis to support short and long-term recovery and healing. 

 

I thought I would forward info about their upcoming session: Working with Grief in the Context of Violence (see below). All sessions with SCRR are free and usually virtual. If you scroll down, you can find the agenda and workshops available. 

 

Please let me know if you’d like more information or to connect. Thinking of you all. 

 

In community and care,
