Free Webinar: Understanding Grief – A Guide for Grievers and Those Who Support Them

Join the Crisis Centre of BC in Partnership with Vancouver Hospice Society for a free online webinar offering guidance, compassion, and practical tools for navigating grief.

While we explore the impacts of traumatic and suicide-related grief, the tools and insights shared are helpful for anyone grieving any type of loss—all are warmly welcome. Whether you’re grieving yourself or supporting someone who is, this session will deepen your understanding and strengthen your ability to respond with care.

We’ll explore:

• What grief can look and feel like – mentally, physically, and socially
• Grieving styles, trauma, and the unique challenges of suicide loss
• Misconceptions about grief and how to avoid causing unintentional harm
• Cultural sensitivity, self-advocacy, and the rights of grievers
• How to provide meaningful support to others grieving, including children
• Ways communities can unite to support those who are grieving

This session also emphasizes self-care, community connection, and ways we can hold space for grief with compassion. One break is included.

In light of the recent tragedy at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver, this webinar will also include content relevant to those grieving and supporting grievers in the wake of this heartbreaking event.
