Annual Grief and Loss Conference   

Sponsored by Widowed Persons Outreach (WPO)

Anyone experiencing grief or loss, especially of a spouse or a life partner, is welcome to attend. Professionals including nurses, social workers, and grief counselors are also invited.

Speaker: Chris Haws, certified grief counselor

Chris earned a Master’s degree with Honors in Psychology from Aberdeen University, Scotland, and post-graduate certification as a Grief Counselor from the American Academy of Grief Counseling. He specializes in bereavement and grief, substance abuse and recovery, and mindfulness and well-being. Chris counsels individuals in their homes, leads groups in hospitals, and conducts workshops and seminars for support groups and corporate clients across the DC region.

Grief is a natural response to a bereavement or a loss of any kind, but the distress you understandably feel today need not be incapacitating or unnecessarily prolonged. Chris' approach is help one come to terms with this new reality, while retaining a healthy and positive psychological relationship with the loved ones you have cherished, but who are now no longer physically present. His aim is to help establish strategies for living a fulfilling and joyful life - a life that can be continually enriched by the happy memories of times gone by. Live a life of gratitude, rather than regret.

There is no fee for the conference but registration is required. Donations to WPO are appreciated. Visit www.wpodc.org for more information.
