SUMMARY:Caregiver Support Group for SHS Employees- In Person
DESCRIPTION:Healing Through Our Shared Mourning\n\n\nThe work we do is both uplifting and emotionally challenging. One of the greatest challenges we face is the loss of a meaningful client relationship. Our clients leave us in a variety of ways; they move to be with children\, they stop service when they transition to assisted living\, they die. Sometimes we don’t even have the chance to say “goodbye.” \nDuring this unique opportunity\, we will take the time to acknowledge these losses and to support one another. Group facilitator Sue Ann Wasserman will be joined by Executive Director Josh Obeiter and Associate Executive Director Jan Klein for this meeting. We hope you can make it to this special tribute to your clients and the important bond you shared. \nLocation: In person at the SHS Office\, 330 Bear Hill Road\, Suite 305\, Waltham \nRSVP: Required by Sunday\, March 24\, by clicking the link below only if you can attend…space is limited
