A Workplace Webinar
Feelings of loss do not only occur in obvious cases of bereavement. Many people experience loss in other situations as well – such as divorce, job loss and even moving home from an international assignment.
Understanding and Coping with Loss is a webinar that explains how people can move through predictable phases towards acceptance and healing, and the steps that we need to keep in mind in order to help ourselves and others. This process is called ‘transition’, and it is a necessary part of healing and growth.
