Project Recovery: "Recognition and Resilience"

Recognition and Resilience: Grief and the Loss of Traditions During the Pandemic

Are you someone who has suffered great loss during the pandemic?

• Cancelled in-person holiday gatherings with friends & families
• No more Friday night fish fry
• Remote schooling & not being able to walk at graduation
• Forced to close your business
• Separated from your spouse
• Selling your dairy heard and/or farm
• Lost a loved one during the pandemic whether due to Covid-19 or not

It is important to recognize the absence or interruption of traditional customs and rituals, both celebratory and grief-oriented. This discussion is intended to acknowledge what was lost, to embrace closure, and to reclaim and reimagine the rites and ritual that help us make sense of our lives. If you said 'yes' to one or many of the examples listed above, please join Outreach Workers from Project Recovery for a presentation with discussion to follow.

This program will be held via Zoom, and is free and open to all adults. Please register below, and Zoom details will be emailed to you.
