Webinar: Creating New Holiday Traditions while Honoring the Past
November 19, 2020, 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Eastern
Accessing a spirit of holiday cheer in the midst of grief can be challenging and many may feel compelled to skip the holidays altogether. Especially this year, when so many gatherings and travel may be limited, cultivating holiday traditions that honor your grief and promote connection with others can be very healing. Join the TAPS Institute to discuss creative ways to engage in the holidays in ways that meet you where you are in your grief journey.
This webinar is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
