Grief is something we will all encounter — in our families, workplaces, friendship circles and community. Yet many of us feel unsure what to say, what to do, or how to truly help someone navigating loss.

In this practical conversation Susan Marcuccio brings her extensive experience as a supervisor, chaplain, mentor and educator to equip everyday people with the confidence and tools to support others well.

Susan is known for making complex ideas accessible and practical, using her own clear models, tools and resources to help people apply learning immediately.

This conversation is ideal for anyone who:

• Has friends or family walking through grief
• Works in people-focused roles
• Volunteers in community settings
• Wants to offer meaningful, appropriate support
• Feels unsure what to say (or what not to say)

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand the different ways people experience grief
• Respond with empathy rather than fixing or avoiding
• Recognise healthy vs complicated grief responses
• Set appropriate emotional boundaries
• Provide safe, non-judgemental support
• Grow in confidence when walking alongside loss

Thursday 11 September is R U OK?Day but we know that whether it’s a friend, family member, partner, or colleague , the people around us go through life’s ups and downs every day. That’s why we want everyone to feel confident to check in with the people they care about and Ask R U OK? Any Day.

We have a conversation around mental health - what helps, what doesn't, how do you seek help...
