Comforting Others With Val Walker: What to Say and Do

$5.00

When called to comfort others, we may feel empathy and care deeply, but sometimes what to say or do can elude us. In this workshop, we explore how to put compassion into action with practical examples of what to say and do to comfort others in distress who are facing loss and major life changes. Author, bereaved person, rehabilitation consultant, and Psychology Today blogger, Val Walker discusses recent research on empathy, grief, and social support, and examine best practices for how to be helpful. Participants share stories of comforting others and learn from each other’s experiences.
