Welcome to our Weaving Together: Meeting the unmet grief needs of Alameda County!

While our target audience are Alameda County Mental Health Providers, community members and the general public are invited to attend. Join us for a day filled with healing, support, and connection as we navigate the complexities of grief together. This in-person event aims to provide a space for providers and community members to share their experiences and to learn about addressing the grief experience of homicide loss, suicide loss, loss due to incarceration and more.

The focus of the conference will be on disenfranchised grief. Knight and Gitterman (2019) identify six factors that contribute to grief disenfranchisement: 1) the loss is ignored; 2) feelings in response to the loss are also ignored; 3) no support is received; 4) there are limited opportunities to grieve; 5) others condemn or question the bereavement; and 6) the loss is stigmatized.  The day will open with a keynote speaker and close with an interactive workshop. Representing various local organizations, we will have insightful speakers, panel discussions, and opportunities to connectand learn from each other.

Come be a part of our community as we weave together stories, healing practices, resources and support. In community, we know that we are not alone.

CEUs avialable.  $60 per attendee.
