Beyond the Casserole | How to Truly Support a Grieving Person

After a loss, a casserole delivered to a grieving family can be a comforting gesture. However, many of us want to support our grieving friends and family on a deeper level, but we do not know-how. Social distancing makes meaningful connection even more challenging. While grief support is not easy, it can be simple. Join us for this Power of Knowing presentation to learn concrete ways to support those who have experienced a loss.

Risks & Resources when Caring for Veterans

Veterans have made tremendous sacrifices on our behalf. At AuthoraCare Collective we believe it is never too late to thank a veteran for their service. We participate in the national We Honor Veterans program which includes raising awareness of the needs of veterans in our community.

Making Your Story Known

Telling our story includes sharing it with others so it can be known and respected, especially at times of illness and death. While many people know what they would like their care to look like, or how their estate to be handled, far fewer people complete the needed conversations and documents to ensure that wishes are respected. Underserved or disenfranchised members of the community are even less likely to complete this planning.

Is My Child Grieving Normally?

Children tend to respond to death very differently from their adult family members. Kids Path counselors often receive questions from parents and caregivers who are worried about how their child is coping with a recent loss.

Anyone considering the vaccines or wanting to know how to access one will benefit from this program.

We will talk about how to understand what we are experiencing and what we can do about it.
