Through community-based practices and grief tending, participants will gain tools to support both their clients and their own emotional well-being. This full day workshop is designed to support professionals working in veterinary and animal health settings who face loss and experience grief due to the nature of their work.

Participants will develop and/or expand their ability to navigate the emotional complexities of their work in animal health fields with resilience and compassion by learning more about grief and loss. They will be invited to experience grief tending in a circle and develop practices to tend to their own sorrow in the community.

The intention of the day is twofold: to support professionals working with clients facing loss in clinical settings, and to help them tend to their own experience of loss in the workplace.

Dates: Aug. 24, 2025

Hours: 5 hours

Tuition: $259 + GST

The facilitated experience will invite participants to explore grief as an emotion and a shared experience within a trauma-sensitive environment. The first part of the day will focus on developing and deepening their understanding of grief, loss and sorrow. They will explore the landscape of loss in the 21st century and better understand how to cultivate support and build resilience in the face of loss and grief.
