Spring Grief Training Programs with Edu-Therapy
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE MENTAL WELLNESS THROUGH INTEGRATED TREATMENT AND TRAINING
A Cognitive Behavioral Model of Grief Resolution
Edu-Therapy in First Nations, Métis and Inuit Communities
Grief and possible traumas negatively effect our lives. Coming in waves, they have a cumulative effect that, if not acknowledged and treated, inhibits our ability to integrate in healthy ways and will continue to repeat themselves.
Physical reactions include:
- Numbness
- Separation
- Disengagement
- Hyperactivity
- Removal
Communities prepared with the Edu-Therapy Process are stronger and more resilient. We are all stakeholders of the collective grief and trauma experience. The Edu-Therapy Process creates a safe place to acknowledge, accept and integrate pain resolution processes-creating resiliency and long term healing.
