IMAGINE IS A CENTER FOR COPING WITH LOSS

Upcoming Community Workshops

Supporting Children Coping with Loss

Imagine, A Center for Coping with Loss is working to create grief informed communities where those who are grieving will be surrounded by family, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches and others who are able to provide support following a loss. We have several upcoming community workshops that will be offered for free to the public as part of this effort. Below you’ll find our upcoming workshop topics and links to register. We hope you’ll join us in our effort to create grief informed communities where no one grieves alone.

Grief in the Latinx Community

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Imagine is offering a free community webinar on Grief in the Latinx Community on September 21 from 7:00-8:30 pm. There will be two webinars held simultaneously, one presented in English and the other in Spanish.

Those who attend the webinar will be able to:

  • Gain awareness of intersectionality and grief as it applies to the Latinx Community
  • Learn traditional cultural values within the Latinx Community
  • Identify different types of grief and loss that pertain to the Latinx Community

Imagine’s staff hope to see you at the upcoming webinar!

October 19, 2023 from 6:30-8:00PM

Bullies to Buddies

Bullying is a challenge for many students, but children who are grieving are more likely to be bullied or to become bullies. Imagine is offering a free Bullies to Buddies workshop at our center in Mountainside.

The Bullies to Buddies method fosters resilience by showing children how to respond to verbal aggression with opportunities to role play techniques taught throughout the session.

The training will be offered by Connie Palmer, LCSW, a Grief Education Consultant for Imagine and a Certified Bullies to Buddies Trainer.

The event is open to:

  • Children and youth in grades 3 and up
  • Parents and caregivers
  • School staff members
  • Interested community members

Pizza dinner will be served at 6:15PM.
