SUMMARY:Dealing with Grief and Loss around the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:The holidays can bring a wide range of emotions. While the season may be associated with celebration and connection\, it can also intensify feelings of grief\, loneliness\, and loss. Missing a loved one\, remembering a difficult experience\, or facing changes in relationships and traditions can make the holidays especially challenging. \nFor Peers\, these experiences create an important opportunity to come alongside individuals through shared understanding\, hope\, and recovery-focused support. Dealing with Grief and Loss Around the Holidays will help Peers better understand the experience of holiday grief while developing practical\, peer-based communication tools they can use to support individuals as they navigate loss\, identify their own strengths\, and move toward hope and resilience. \nParticipants will: \n\nIdentify common experiences\, triggers\, and patterns that can intensify grief and feelings of loss during the holiday season.\nExplore how lived experience and appropriate self-disclosure can be used to create connection\, mutuality\, and hope when supporting someone experiencing grief.\nPractice peer-supportive questions that help individuals explore their grief\, recognize personal strengths\, and identify what they need during the holiday season.\nLearn communication strategies for listening to and responding to the words people use to describe grief\, loss\, loneliness\, and difficult holiday experiences.\nExplore how internal representations\, including images\, sounds\, memories\, and other sensory qualities—can influence a person’s emotional response to holiday memories.\nDevelop strategies for helping individuals honor important memories and relationships while identifying meaningful ways to participate in the present and envision a hopeful future.\nRecognize the boundaries of the Peer role when supporting someone experiencing grief and identify situations in which additional professional\, community\, or crisis resources may be appropriate.\n\nAbout the Trainer \nChuck Hendrix is a Certified Peer Support Specialist\, Certified Life Coach\, Neuro-Linguistic Programming\, Practitioner\, and Board-Certified Hypnotherapist. He has studied personal growth\, communication\, and personal change for more than 25 years and develops specialized trainings designed to expand the practical tools Peer Support Specialists and Recovery Coaches can bring to their work. \nChuck combines practical skills\, lived experience\, interactive learning\, and humor to create trainings that are engaging\, applicable\, and focused on helping peer professionals strengthen the impact they have with the people they serve. \nEligible for 4.5 virtual Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Continuing Education credits. \nRegistration: Please register below (on this site) using a credit or debit card\, which is the quickest way to confirm your attendance. \nOnly if you need to pay by check\, please complete this form (click here) and email it to: registration@mipeers.org.
