Pet Loss Seminar - Talking to children about pet loss
|
Often the loss of a pet is a child's first experience with the death of a loved one. The experience can be overwhelming to children and difficult for families to navigate. This workshop focuses on how to talk with our children about loss, honoring our pets who have passed, and supporting our children while they are grieving and adjusting to, or anticipating, the loss of a beloved pet. All community members are welcome to attend this workshop. (only adults should attend this class) It's never easy to lose a pet, and when you consider them, as we do, a member of the family, the loss can be difficult and extremely sad. The HSHV and Blue Dog Counseling have partnered to provide a series of classes on preparing for and dealing with the loss of a pet. Cōlleen O’Brien, founder of Blue Dog Counseling, is facilitating the evenings which began in April, 2011. Cōlleen is an expert at developing creative therapeutic interventions to support individuals, couples, families, and other groups. Her personal commitment to animal welfare, her own experience as a devoted pet owner, and a passion for supporting people led her to create Blue Dog Counseling. Cōlleen is dedicated to providing a safe, open, and creative space for discussion. A place where you can take time for yourself in the midst of everything else you have going on. Date:
