Webinar: Grief, Justice, and Joy: Remembering Your Center and Countering Isolation

Hosted by: Jinaki Flint, PsyD and Anneliese Singh, PhD

2-3 PM

In this session, we’ll explore how working for equity and justice on and off campus entails experiencing grief and loss – and how this grief and loss can manifest in the mind, body (and for some), spirit. Presenters also describe how we can care for ourselves and our communities after experiencing multiple losses over the last few years – from COVID and racial and other intersectional injustices to dehumanization around the world.

We’ll take a moment to pause and consider how we can support people and ourselves as we are hurting so we can move towards healing and rely on the strength of our Tulane community.
