Grief in the Workplace Update

Taking our lunch-and-learn series directly to major employers paid off! After presenting “Grief Doesn’t Take a Work Break” to employees of Vulcan Materials Company and UAB this spring, both employers scheduled “Surviving the Holidays” programs for November, along with Alabama Power Company and Children’s Hospital. We will continue to offer this series to major employers who can provide the venue, publicize the program to their employees and handle registration. This format lets CGSS reach a lot more folks and at a minimal cost.

Save the Date for Lift Your Spirits!

It's a Gala! It's an Auction! It's a chance to have fun and help others!

Save the date for Community Grief Support's Seventh Annual Lift Your Spirits Gala that will be held Thursday, October 21, 2010 from 5:30-8:00pm at the Kress Building Penthouse in Birmingham, Alabama.

We will be honoring Dr. Andrew Westmoreland, President of Samford University, and also hosting a cocktail dinner and both silent & live auctions in order to fund free counseling and support programs for adults struggling with grief following the death of a loved one.

Surviving the Holidays

Here they come again!

CGSS's Surviving the Holidays Lunch and Learn Seminars are starting this November 2010! These seminars reveal practical ways to survive the holidays - not just at year end, but on all the significant days that trigger memories of our losses. In these seminars, participants will be able to hear practical grief and coping tips, create a personal holiday plan and discover ways that will help you...Survive the Holidays!

Alabama Power, Children's Hospital, UAB, and Vulcan Materials Company have scheduled seminars for their employees. If your company is interested in having CGSS present a Surviving the Holidays Lunch and Learn Seminar, then please contact our office at 205-870-8667.
