Exploring Principles and Practices of Compassionate Caregiving
Date: October 24, 2012
Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
Location: The Columns Banquet Center This informative workshop will help participants enhance their knowledge and skills related to supporting
people experiencing grief and loss. Dr. Alan Wolfelt will explore a “companioning” model of bereavement

of grief.
