Yet for many, nonfiction is associated with boring text books, dry memorization, or stamped-out series.  What are the real pleasures of nonfiction? How is nonfiction changing? What are the borderlines between “narrative nonfiction” and invention? With an eye to the concerns of educators, students, parents, and community members, Dr. Marc Aronson will share his passion for nonfiction and provide insights into selecting and using distinguished nonfiction resources.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and her five stages were long held up as the standard model for working through grief and loss even though her research was with dying individuals. Fortunately, one-size-fits-all models are no longer the standard.  In this workshop, we will discuss new ways to describe the impact of grief on our clients, including discussions on resilience and posttraumatic growth. Our focus will also be on the importance of tailoring our interventions to the individual, including a consideration of differing grieving styles.  Date: Friday, December 5, 2014 Read more ^Return to contents Volunteering There are currently no Volunteering posts. ^Return to top
