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 Volunteer Groups Needed 2nd Saturday of Every Month! The Habitat for Humanity Store in Vancouver is looking for individuals to help us do a once-over on the store and catch up on some lingering projects that help keep our store looking it’s best! Connect with other volunteers from the community, learn a little bit about Habitat for Humanity and the Store mission, and see all the exciting (and sometimes odd or unreal) donations that come to our store every day.   Volunteers will help organize the sales floor, assist customers with their purchased items, help facilitate our donation intake, and help keep our aisles clear and safe. If you are the type of person who likes to keep busy, and see automatic results from their hard work, this is a great volunteer project for you!
