Parenting through Grief
September 19, 2025
Presented by Ty Morgan, LISW-S
This seminar helps caregivers understand and support children and teens who are grieving the loss of a loved one. The colloquium provides strategies for navigating the unique challenges of parenting while coping with one's grief, with a focus on communication, coping skills, and self-care.

Boundaries
September 26, 2025
Presented by Julia Ellifritt, LISW-S
Having professional boundaries is essential to good practice, as the lack of boundaries is one of the most common reasons clinicians have their licenses revoked. This workshop, which fulfills the state’s ethics requirement, will explore our boundaries from a spiritual perspective. We will discuss appropriate amounts of self-disclosure, boundary crossings, boundary violations, and areas of risk

Secondary Losses
October 3, 2025
Presented by Molly O’Driscoll, LPCC, GC-C
Grief is a natural response to loss, especially after the death of a loved one.  Yet, we may be surprised to realize that grief often extends well beyond the death itself, as we typically grieve for many layers of loss at the same time.  Examples include grieving plans, financial stability, changes to your support system, or adjustments to your daily routine.  This event will introduce and explore Secondary Losses, which are the additional life changes that can compound and complicate grief.  Education, coping skills, and opportunities to share experiences will also be presented.

CISM For Public Safety and Beyond

Traumatic Grief & the Journey Towards Healing
October 17, 2025
Presented by Pete Bliss
Participants will understand what traumatic grief is and its impact on a survivor’s functioning, understand the models for processing traumatic grief and the barriers that interrupt those processes, and learn tools and techniques to help individuals achieve positive outcomes for the healing process.

Healing isn’t a Feeling: Finding Hope When Your Heart isn’t Ready
October 24, 2025
Presented by Bryan Crum
Grief is not a problem to fix, but a journey to walk. The start of healing doesn’t require feeling strong. This seminar gently guides participants through the ache of loss toward a life renewed with meaning, hope, and joy, even when they can’t imagine it yet.
