Description

Grief and trauma are both part of a survivor’s healing process, but they are not the same. Although grief and trauma may coexist, they are distinct phenomena that are commonly misunderstood as being identical.

Join Praxis and guest speaker Alice Cagampang, M.S.W., Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work and Director of the Carol LaMare Program, as we examine the complexities of healing, especially as it applies to the relationship between grief and trauma for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. Together, we will explore the nature of grief and trauma, and consider how advocates and service providers can best support survivors as they navigate these distinct experiences.
