OUR HOUSE EVENTS
Author Talks: Q&A With Larry Carlat Moderated by Victoria Villa
Friday, December 6, 2024 • 7:00 PM
Join us for a heartfelt talk with author Larry Carlat and OUR HOUSE Grants Associate Victoria Villa to discuss Carlat’s new book, A Space in the Heart: A Survival Guide for Grieving Parents. This hard-hitting book details the anguish that the death of a child brings and how to survive and thrive in its aftermath. In Larry’s own words, “It’s part memoir, part self-help, zero bullshit and 100% straight from the heart.” It’s about our never-ending love for our lost children and how that love ultimately helps us transform and heal. In other words, it’s a roadmap for a road no one would ever choose to travel. We hope to see you there!

Meet & Grief for the Holidays
Saturday, December 14, 2024 • 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM
We know the holiday season can sometimes feel at odds with the complex emotions that come with grief and loss — often exacerbating a dissonance we feel with the world around us. In order to explore, express, and witness these feelings as a community, we’re hosting our first-ever Meet & Grief for the holidays. We want to create a safe and welcoming space for people to come together and connect with others who are also navigating grief during the holiday season.

Online Grief Intensive Training (21 CE/CEUs)
February 12-14, 2025 • 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Our grief workshop and intensive training course provides a theoretical and practical approach to grief support to implement in work with grieving children, adolescents, and adults. Those who complete this training will have the opportunity to enhance and practice intervention skills and to reflect upon their own comfort with and understanding of death and bereavement. The thorough review of grief theories, relevant case examples, practical knowledge of interventions with both individuals and groups, and different views of the healing and meaning-making process, allow participants to take a multi-dimensional approach to learning how to be a competent and effective practitioner in grief care.
