The Grieving Helper -A discussion of grief and loss in frontline work.

Frontline workers experience loss on a regular basis in their careers. This loss is often tragic, deeply felt and leaves profound grief. Yet, professionally we are expected to keep moving and continue helping. Overtime, this can impact workers mental health, physical health and develop into compassion fatigue. This workshop will be a brief overview of grief and loss from a trauma-informed lens.  The goal is to help you reframe your experiences of loss at work. This will help you understand your professional losses, the impacts and how to support yourself and others while you grieve.

Empowering Providers: Supporting Gender Diverse Youth and Their Families

Gender transition involves navigating complex social, legal, medical, and mental health systems. It can be hard for the caregivers of Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, and other gender-diverse youth to find the right information. In this webinar, social workers will build capacity to support caregivers of gender-diverse youth as they learn to be gender-affirming and find the services their families need, with a focus on an Alberta-context. Using case examples, we will explore common challenges caregivers face, offer tangible evidence-based strategies, and clarify processes for accessing care.
