Grief and Loss in the Caring Role Workshop | ONLINE

Disclaimer: This online event is exclusively available to residents of Western Australia only.

When mental health challenges change your family’s future, it’s normal to feel grief and loss. Your loved one may be alive and close by, but due to their mental ill-health you may start to mourn a part of them. You might grieve for the hopes and dreams you had for them, or the identity you may have lost when becoming a carer. In this workshop we will explore loss and grief, particularly the type that may be experienced when caring for someone with mental health challenges.

IMPORTANT: This is a two-part workshop held over two consecutive weeks, and participants are expected to attend both workshops.

When

Part 1 - 17 Jul, 2024 | 5:30 - 7:00 PM

Part 2 - 24 July, 2024 | 5:30 - 7:00 PM

Participants are required to attend both days.

Workshop outcomes:

• To understand and explore ideas of loss and grief.
• To raise awareness of Ambiguous Loss experienced when caring for someone with a mental health challenge.
• To facilitate connection and support among carers who share similar experiences of loss and grief.
• To support carers to develop skills to cope better with Ambiguous Loss and process their grief.
