🖤 Grief Awareness Day 🖤 | August 30 Today, we honor #GriefAwarenessDay by recognising grief's profound impact on our lives.

Our training programs, like #LivingWorks ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), equip individuals with the skills to support those in crisis, including those dealing with intense grief. Let's unite to support one another and raise awareness about the importance of understanding grief and providing intervention.
