Peer Support Meeting Feb 21, 2023 8 PM ET

Join our regular third Tuesday meeting for Funeral Professionals Peer Support. This meeting is open to anyone who serves their communities during some of their worst moments, providing care to the grieving. That includes everyone from the front office to the back room, chapel to gravesite, suited to coveralls — and everyone in-between. As a peer support meeting, all are invited to share personal experiences and connect with people who understand what you experience everyday.

Open to everyone across North America, no registration is required to attend, simply mark your calendar and save the Zoom link to access the meeting.

Working with families is simultaneously the best and hardest part of the job. It can be loaded with tension, and the compartmentalization needed to avoid bringing your work home with you can give rise to a host of other challenges.

On February 21, Todd R. Reinholt facilitates the monthly Funeral Professionals Peer Support meeting for a discussion on arrangement conferences, both the challenges of the struggle and the joys of success.

No CE is available because this is the time to connect. CANA is proud to host what is hopefully the first of many of these meetings, but staff will not be attending to give you the space to talk to your peers and share. You do not need to be a CANA Member to participate.

Apprentices, interns, and students: you are welcome!

Bill Sampson and Lisa Smith facilitate the September meeting to get at the heart of what motivates us to serve. When people ask why you chose a career in funeral service, the typical answer is, “Because I want to help people, or I like helping people.” Helping people is what we do. During the meeting, we’ll reflect on why we do it (help people), why it’s important to us and rethink do how we do it, and how the how has changed during the pandemic, throughout our career or in our changing roles.
