Help for Battlefords families dealing with traumatic loss
Battlefords area families struggling with the loss of a loved one who has gone missing or dies suddenly in a traumatic way, will have an opportunity to find some support in an upcoming workshop.
The Trauma and Ambiguous Loss workshop will be available for families, and a separate workshop will be available for professionals.
“When we talk about traumatic loss – it could be a suicide, it could be a murder, or a sudden death,” said Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre wellness program director Jose Pruden. “The workshop is about looking at how people process a traumatic or ambiguous loss.”
She said an ambiguous loss could result when a family member is missing and has never been found.
