Events
Event Timing:           June 11th, 2022 @ 10am to 12pm Pacific Time
Event Address:        The Crisis Centre of BC –
763 E Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5T 1X8
Contact:                    bereavement@crisiscentre.bc.ca

In this in-person, guided intermodal expressive arts therapy workshop, participants will explore the wildness of suicide grief. The group itself will serve as a container for exploring what individual losses look and feel like.

This session will be led by Heather Prost, a Certified Expressive Arts therapist. Suicide bereaved, themselves, Heather’s main focus is on generating brave spaces where people can build relationships with their grief as well as connect with others in establishing peer to peer support networks.

Participants will have an opportunity to reflect and sit with their grief story, processing their emotions through the arts. We will be utilizing visual arts + “mark-making”, creative writing, and mixed media collage as a guiding tool to generate personalized expressions  of grief.

You do not need to have any experience with art to attend this workshop.

This 2 hour workshop will include:

  • Exploring how objects connected to our loved ones may support our grief
  • Stream-of-conscious creative writing, collage, and mark-making
  • Space to connect with others who are suicide bereaved
  • Opportunity to share creations with the group
  • Resources and tools to integrate into supporting your grief

The Crisis Centre of BC is a non-profit charitable organization in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. To make a donation for this session, visit https://crisiscentre.bc.ca/donate/
