NS Grief Alliance Educational Offering - Let’s Talk About Grief, Loss & Well-Being, June 23, 2026

The Nova Scotia Grief Alliance hosts a presentation by Barbara Roberts, Master of Social Work and Registered Social Worker Clinical Specialist, on "Grief, Loss and Well-being." Barbara delivers a comprehensive presentation exploring various aspects of grief, including different types of grief, the non-linear nature of the grieving process, and the importance of recognizing grief as a lifelong journey rather than something to be overcome. She discusses how grief manifests differently across cultures, religions, and individual experiences, emphasizing the need for inclusive approaches when supporting those experiencing loss. The presentation also explores professional boundaries, positionality in service provision, and the importance of decolonizing healing practices. Participants engage in a Q&A session, sharing experiences and discussing topics such as climate-related grief, cultural differences in mourning practices, and grief associated with property loss. The session concludes with appreciation for Barbara's insights and information about upcoming Nova Scotia Grief Alliance events.
