It's been a few weeks since the last blog. Our 3 day grief camp was a great success and afterwards, I took some time off. During that time and since the creation of this blog, I have had several conversations on how to improve the blog, reach more readers and meet the needs of our readers. It is my intention to post twice a week and I invite you to respond.
There have been many events happening in the bereavement center. Last week, we had our first advisory council. The advisory council is made of up community members who may or may not have utilized our services. There are mental health professionals, funeral directors, estate planners, bereaved, volunteers, fire and safety personnel, school professionals, etc. The purpose is for the council to make suggestions on ways to improve the bereavement center and reach the community. It is the responsibility of the bereavement center to act on these ideas. In the first meeting, we provided a general overview of the center and it's services. Council members made multiple concrete suggestions on ways to collaborate with others and reach out to underserved areas. An action plan will follow. One idea was to send our About Grief newsletter that we send to our hospice bereaved families to our school data base and to everyone we know on-line. I am posting here for you to look at. http://208.206.15.235/uploads/pdf/AboutGrief_Fall08.pdf
Look forward to more frequent postings and updates on the advisory council.
