A Bartender, Hair Stylist, and Nail Technician Walk into a Funeral. . . Responding to Grief in Service Professions

When we think of professions that regularly interact with grieving people, we might think of healthcare workers, hospice employees, and funeral directors. Yet many service providers routinely find themselves in the thick of conversations about grief with little to no training on how to navigate these interactions. In this webinar, experts will share strategies for how to respond to grieving clients with compassion while still maintaining professional boundaries as well as what to do if your own grief is triggered by a client’s story.

Moderator

Hunter Donia, Hair stylist and Industry Educator
