SUMMARY:How to Care Give During Times of Grief and Loss Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This recorded workshop is open to foster and kinship caregivers\, social workers\, and others connected to fostering.

Ashleigh is a registered social worker\, clinical counsellor\, and post-secondary instructor who teaches trauma\, child abuse\, and neglect in Social Work and Child and Youth Care degree programs. Registrants can access the recording anytime during the two-week period. \nTuesday\, September 22nd to Tuesday\, October 6th On Demand CLN \nRegister here: https://learn.fpsss.com/courses/2026replay-how-to-care-give-during-times-of-grief-and-loss/
