Windows: Healing and Helping through Loss

Train your staff and students to cope with loss, and to help others cope with loss. Windows: Healing and Helping Through Loss, by the late Mary Joe Hannaford, S.Ed., and Michael H. Popkin, Ph.D., is the first video and discussion program to address the issue of loss. Windows teaches participants how to deal with obvious losses such as death and divorce as well as the subtle feelings associated with losing a job, moving away from family and friends, and losing a dream.

Loss EducationPerfect for discussion groups and staff development.
Windows is part video and part group discussion and is designed to be highly interactive. The video illustrates the concepts, while the exercises and activities found in the Participant's Guide and the group discussion allow for personal sharing that will reinforce these concepts. The result is an engaging learning experience for your group.

The group discussion format of Windows makes it ideal for staff development, loss education for students, volunteer training in hospitals or hospices, or for any other group that helps others.

It's easy to lead a group!
Windows is designed for six 1-hour sessions and is flexible, so you can adapt it to your particular situation. Part I will help participants explore their own ways of coping with loss, and Part II will prepare participants to help others. The Leader's Guide takes you step by step through the course and offers valuable insights into organizing a group.
