Unspeakable Grief: for Queer, Trans, Nonbinary and Two-Spirit support workers

As healthcare, frontline, or other support workers, it’s not uncommon for us to experience the death of a client, colleague, or community member—but it can often feel like we have nowhere to turn. Our work environments aren’t typically built to support these types of losses. Client confidentiality carries beyond death, and workplace norms may make it hard to open up about our emotions. And we may be active in small communities, where our personal and professional lives overlap. But it’s important to allow ourselves space to grieve.

This free, in-person grief circle will be a facilitated space where you will be encouraged to acknowledge your feelings, and participate in a healing ritual together.

Being Human In This Work: a support circle for trans, nonbinary and Two Spirit service providers

This free online care circle is for trans, nonbinary, and Two-Spirit service providers who are supporting TNB2S+ individuals and communities.

With the rise of transphobia affecting public attitude and policy, it’s more important than ever to create space for self-care and community care.

In this circle, participants will have the opportunity to share their feelings, engage in some grounding exercises, and explore ideas for nurturing themselves and each other.

This workshop is made possible by the generous support of Trans Care BC.
