Grieving in the Closet – Experiences of Grief and Loss in the LGBTQ+ Community: 11:30am-12:30pm

Presenter:  William J. Koehler, PhD, LCSW

Grieving in the Closet will offer participants an opportunity to peer through the keyhole of the closet door into the experiences of those in the LGBTQ+ community who are often forced to grieve in silence. From there, the facilitator will help providers know how to gently open the closet, sit with the grieving and bring the light of hope into their darkness. Participants will learn how to empower those in the LGBTQ+ community to heal and reemerge into a life after their loss.
