When a parent dies, there are often other feelings of loss. There may be the loss of a home, loss of connection with the past, loss of being known or the loss of the expectation that someday the relationship might have changed. The natural order of things often does not bring comfort. This is a six-week group that will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Mondays from Sept. 23 to Oct. 28 for those grieving the loss of a parent. Wherever you are in your grief process, whatever the relationship, you are welcome.

Grief-fiti
2019-10-05 10:00 - 13:00 | Artsy Partsy, 8055 Ritchie Highway, Suite 302, Pasadena, Maryland, 21122
Chesapeake Life Center is excited to announce a new partnership that will help children and teenagers express their feelings around the loss of someone dear to them on canvas. The team of grief professionals will be working with Artsy Partsy in Pasadena in developing Grief-fiti in October. These interactive creative workshops invite kids to pair art activities with grief experiences and illustrate their grief, their way.
“It’s not uncommon to struggle with finding words while grieving, no matter your age. How does one name experiences of life and death that are often beyond something that fits in a word?” Chesapeake Life Center Bereavement Manager Amy Stapleton said. “For youth especially, creative expression is a means of release.”
You don’t have to be good at art or worried about getting it “right”. Everyone’s experience will be unique. Grief-fiti offers a safe space for kids and teens to have their grief acknowledged, whatever it looks or sounds like. Professional counselors will be there to guide children through conversations about grief as they connect with others who have also experienced loss.
The sessions will be held at the Artsy Partsy studios at 8055 Ritchie Highway, Suite 302, in Pasadena. The first session is for children ages 6 to 12 and will meet from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 5. The second session is for teens ages 13 to 18 and will meet from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 16. The cost is $10.
Pre-registration is required and must be completed before attending by calling 888-501-7077 or emailing griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org. For details on Artsy Partsy, visit artsypartsy.net.

The learning sessions are free, the five continuing education units are free, even the meals are free: All that remains is for people to register online for the Caring for the Continuum of Life: A 2019 Healthcare Symposium. It will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 19 at First Baptist Church of Highland Park, 6801 Sheriff Road, Landover, Maryland.
Last year’s inaugural event was so successful, Hospice of the Chesapeake, Chesapeake Life Center and Chesapeake Palliative Medicine will once again host this free educational opportunity for professionals and community members. The symposium will feature a full day of presentations from more than 15 experts in the fields of hospice and palliative care, grief counseling and spirituality. Three of the nine sessions offer free continuing education units for Maryland social workers, while all will offer insight into important end-of-life topics that should be part of the vocabulary of every health professional and family.
Karen Bullock, Ph.D., LCSW, a professor and the Assistant Dean of the School of Social Work at North Carolina State University, will open the session with “Courage, Hope and Transformative Leadership: Key Components in Connecting Culture to Caring for Those with Serious Illness.” Professionals can earn one CEU with this session that will explore the racial and ethnic disparities in access and utilization of palliative and hospice care.
This will be followed by a series of breakout sessions in two different tracks. The first track for professionals offers two sessions, each offering two CEUs. Yolanda Wilson, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor at Howard University will present, “Implicit Bias and Racism in End-of-Life Care,” and Deborah G. Haskins, Ph.D., President for the Maryland Council on Problem Gambling, will present “This Is Too Hard,” a discussion of coping after loss to homicide and providing hope to its survivors.
A second track is designed to offer information of interest to people in the community. The five sessions include a discussion of myths and misunderstandings about caring for serious and life-limiting illnesses, a presentation by Cereta A. Lee, the Registrar of Wills for Prince George’s County, on the importance of putting healthcare decisions in writing in advance, a session discussing how spirituality plays a part in living with serious illness and an overview of the types of loss and how it affects our grieving.
The closing session, DocTalk With Faith-Based Leaders, is an open discussion with physicians and faith-based leaders on living with serious, life-limiting illnesses.
While enjoying a free lunch, attendees will have an opportunity to visit the Wellness Space in the Exhibitor Hall to learn more about and experience therapeutic sound and music, Comfort Touch, aroma therapy, and acupuncture demonstrations.
As there is no charge for any portion of this event, it is required that all attending register in advance as space is expected to quickly fill up. For details and to register, visit www.caringforlifemd.org.

From Inequity Awareness to Social Action: Disrupting Disenfranchisement and Suffocated Grief in Marginalized Children and Adults

This lecture will address historical and contemporary ways in which youth and families coping with loss experiences from various marginalized social locations (race, ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, age) are faced with inequities and suffocated grief in their journey of healing. Drawing from research and case studies, it will describe socially just and culturally conscientious practices that facilitate the disruption of systemic factors that complicate grief, mourning, and coping processes for children and teens across cultural contexts (e.g., schools, hospitals).
The Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners certifies that this program meets the criteria for 3.0 credit hours of Category 1 continuing education for Social Workers in Maryland.

Integrative Healing: Mindfulness -- Telehealth Workshop
2020-05-06 10:00 - 12:00 | Chesapeake Life Center – John & Cathy Belcher Campus, 90 Ritchie Highway, Pasadena, MD, 21122, US
Integrative Healing: Mindfulness, originally planned to take place in May on Chesapeake Life Center’s Pasadena campus, will be offered online via a telehealth platform.
The first workshop, “Mindfulness,” is part of our “Integrative Healing Series.” These workshops explore the many ways integrative arts can support those who are caring for loved ones struggling with illness or grieving the loss of someone dear. This session will be held via telehealth from 10 a.m. to noon May 6 and will teach participants how to find ways to relax, retreat and replenish body, mind, and spirit. The cost of the workshop is $10.
Our services are perhaps needed now more than ever in our history, as individuals and the community grapple with grief in physical isolation due to the COVID-19 health emergency. In response, the center has moved as many of our groups and individual bereavement counseling as is feasible via telehealth. The team’s counselors have all received training in telehealth to be sure that their services meet best practice standards.
Registration is required for all groups and can be completed by calling 888-501-7077 or emailing griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org. For details on telehealth bereavement services, visit www.hospicechesapeake.org/clc-covid-19.

Living with Loss: Changing Identity and Coping with Parent Loss (Telehealth Workshop)
2020-05-26 18:00 - 20:00
“Living with Loss: Changing Identity and Coping with Parent Loss,” which was originally planned to take place on Chesapeake Life Center’s Pasadena campus, will most likely be offered online via a telehealth platform.
With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day dotting the spring calendar, those experiencing parental loss are faced with often painful reminders of what is lost and a search for what remains. When a parent dies, there are often layers of loss – the loss of a home, loss of connection with the past, loss of being “known”, or the loss of the expectation that someday the relationship might have changed. Sometimes the “natural order of things” does not bring comfort. Whether you are grieving the loss of a parent or someone who was like a parent, wherever you are in your grief process, whatever the relationship, you are welcome. This session will be held via telehealth from 6 to 8 p.m. May 26. Should stay at home restrictions be lifted by May 10, there is a possibility the event will occur in-person at our Pasadena location. The cost of the workshop is $10.
