Responding with Empathy In the Face of Communal Grief, A Chat on Mental Wellness | Offering Support

Responding with Empathy In the Face of Communal Grief, A Chat on Mental Wellness | Offering Support Our chat on Mental Wellness is focused on how to respond empathically, and what behaviours and mindsets align with being empathic when those around you are mourning through loss.   The way we express emotions and respond to the emotionality of those around us, is part of what makes each of us human. We will all respond in our own way, and in our own time.   Currently, our Indigenous communities are mourning the loss of children, the 215 in British Columbia and the 751 children found in Saskatchewan, still recognizing that there are more children who have yet to be found.   As a collective, it's hard not to be shaken by this news and come to face with all that it means. As members within the community or of adjacent communities, this is a time that requires our empathy, our support and our solidarity.   #MentalWellness #EveryChildMatters #GrowThroughGrief #Grief #Mourning #Empathy #Community #StandTogether #Solidarity  #MentalWellness #Empathy #Recovery  *RESOURCES*   - 5 Ways You Can Educate Yourself and Support Indigenous Communities in Canada: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/how-to-support-indigenous-communities-canada/?template=next  - That Discomfort You're Feeling is Grief: https://hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief  - Communal Grief in Unprecedented Times: https://bakken-young.com/communal-grief/  For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!  We post bi-weekly:  https://www.spe-projectpurpose.com/blogs  Make sure to come visit us, subscribe to the website, and join our Member's Area for more valuable content:   *SOCIALS*  Website: www.spe-projectpurpose.com   Facebook Page: @ProjectPurposeSPE  Instagram: @ProjectPurposeSPE or my personal account @realistrae  Twitter: @Purpose_SPE  Pinterest: @ProjectPurposeSPE    Podcast: "Support, Protect, Empower - The Project Purpose Podcast"   Now available on the following platforms:    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7k0gdzY6ID8YHD7yxKiuE8?si=WgsMrqSaSfCCEppQOwXOgg  Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/support-protect-empower-project-purpose-podcast  Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81YWMxNDNhMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==  RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/support-protect-empower-project-WDgk4l  PocketCasts: https://pca.st/a2hgm7lh  Anchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/projectpurposespe  If you'd like to read my research thesis, "ADHD: Is it a Social Construct or does it have a Neurophysiological Basis?" you can find it at the following address:  https://rachellerealist.wordpress.com​​.   OUR AUTONOMY, SELF-EFFICACY, COMPASSION & SELF-CONCEPT WORKSHOPS ARE AVAILABLE (AGES 4-8, 9-13 & 14-17) BE SURE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE AND MAKE YOUR PURCHASE!  www.spe-projectpurpose.com  ​ I'm more than happy to answer your questions, feel free to send an email to: [email protected]    Do you like the intro/outro music?   Check out the artist on Spotify:   Artist Name: Valdii  Song Name: I Learn
