National Funeral Directors Association (Day Two) Virtual Event
Funeral Professionals Peer Support (Canada) Meeting 8:00pm AST
We’re pleased to welcome Michael Johnston, Regional Supervising Coroner for New Brunswick Coroner Services and Founder of Hope 4 Heroes as our guest for the Funeral Professionals Peer Support meeting scheduled from 8:00pm-9:00pm AST, Thursday, November 18, 2021. Michael’s post-traumatic stress disorder that eventually led him to leave a career as a paramedic, has led him to help others who may be exposed to trauma, no matter what sector they work in. Meeting participants will learn about PTSD from a survivor’s perspective. Together, we’ll explore helpful mind-body practices and support services. All participants are encouraged to share within their own comfort level, to offer encouragement and support. Meeting link:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83481387004?pwd=cVpScnFPUENNYU1oMkM0S3ZqcTBSdz09
