I think the whole event was very well done. Excellent speakers, LOVED the Cultural panel (10 stars!), even the vendors were all completely on point.

Connecting with this beautiful community. Keynotes were great as well. I appreciated the mix of local and national experts. Panel was incredible!
I learned so much about grief and best practices for working with clients who are experiencing grief and loss. This was a weakness in my clinical practice before.
I enjoyed open conversation and information presented throughout. I love collaborative spaces and felt this event was structured in that way.
Gaining new hands on activities to use in session with clients, connecting with other therapists and having a comforting space to share our personal experience with grief.
