Therapy isn't the only way to process grief. Join this free, virtual panel to explore the growing world of grief coaches, educators, and peer-led communities. Together, we’ll demystify the roles of certified grief professionals and share real-life ways people are finding meaningful support in grief circles, coaching relationships, and communal spaces that honor loss without rushing healing.
Expect storytelling, practical guidance, and a space of care—from those walking alongside grief every day. Speakers include Amanda McKoy Flanagan, Angie Hanson, Moira Khan, and Nina Rodriguez. Moderated by Kera Sanchez, founder and editor-in-chief of Get Griefy.
