What is this session about?<\/h2>\n

\"\"The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic brought an unparalleled awareness of grief. This presentation will define grief and introduce grief literacy.<\/p>\n

Grief literacy aims to improve how people can understand grief and support one another in it. The concept of grief literacy is embedded in a public health commitment to understanding and addressing the loneliness and isolation caused by grief. The goal of grief literacy is to empower individuals, networks and communities to support those among us who are grieving with everyday acts of kindness and compassion. For greater grief literacy, change needs to occur at all levels. While certainly some bereaved people need professional support, for many a better social response is community-based acknowledgment and validation.<\/p>\n
