An online workshop for those supporting someone through grief and loss
Grief is messy. We don't want to say the wrong thing, and we don't want to make things worse.
This workshop is for people who want to offer support but don't know where to begin.
About the workshop
Who is it for?
"My Condolences" is a 90 minute online, interactive workshop
designed for people supporting someone experiencing grief and loss.
It is made to help you feel more confident when you don't know what to say or what to do.
What will it cover?
In this workshop we'll talk about what the experience of grief can be like,
why it's different for everyone, and why it's so hard to know what to say. You'll learn what is actually helpful,
what to avoid, and how to offer support in practical ways, even when you feel unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to attend live? Will there be a recording?
The workshops can only be attended live at this time. Please check back for upcoming workshop dates if you are unable to attend.
Can I attend if I'm experiencing grief myself?
This workshop is designed for people supporting someone else going through grief. If you are experiencing grief, you are welcome to attend, but the focus is on how we can support others.
What if I don't know anyone who's grieving right now, can I still come?
Yes! This workshop will give you the skills and confidence to support a loved one before it's needed. You don't need to be actively supporting someone to benefit for "My Condolences".
