We are excited beyond words to announce our very first in-person workshop for children who have been bereaved. 🧡
Today is the first day of Samhain, and following last nights Celtic festivities, we continue to embrace the traditions; honouring and remembering our loved ones in the month of November.
Can you spot the reference to one of our favourite films, which also acknowledges our loved ones this month? 💀🎶
November also marks the count down to Bereaved Children Awareness Week, which takes place at the end of the month. As therapists who work with children, BCAW is particularly close to our hearts as it is a week that highlights children’s grief specifically.
Children don’t naturally express their grief through words. They express their grief through play and creative expression.
As creative arts therapists, Myself and Joanne will hold space for the art, music, and story telling, of children who have been bereaved. These expressions may be verbal or non-verbal. Most importantly, we will listen.
We called the workshop Grieving Together because that’s exactly what we will be doing. We will be coming together, acknowledging and honouring each other’s grief no matter what stage, and reminding one another that despite the lonesome feeling that comes with grief, we are, in fact, not alone. 🧡
Please share this event with loved ones and friends/ families who you feel might avail, and don’t hesitate to DM us if you have any specific questions. 🧡
