About the session

Description

As we begin our collective, careful steps towards what feels like the next healthier and safer stage of Covid19, returning to our once familiar personal and professional spaces and routines; for many the reality of the Pandemic and the resulting grief experiences still continue to be very present - for us as individuals along with our collective and shared grief.   As we continue to move forward - in and around our workplaces, how might we support those dealing with the grief, or indeed support those who are yet to face grief? How might we support each other collectively in the workplaces and as importantly, how might we support ourselves?
