Testimonials
“This was hands-down the most helpful resource I’ve experienced to navigate climate anxiety.”
—Heather H.D., 2022 10-Step Participant
“I didn’t think a Zoom program could affect me so much. The level of vulberability and honesty of facilitators and participants was off the charts.”
—S.T., 2023 10-Step Participant
“This training is a salve for the times we must live through. Climate chaos and climate grief go hand in hand. We cannot escape the beautiful and horrifying times we are living through. Gaining skills to be a facilitator to bring people together and face this challenge is edifying and grounding. I have more strength for what is to come and I have greater tools to support the communities I work within to come to terms with our predicament with courage, and a little bit of hope.”
-G.R., 2023 FLOW training participant

10 Steps to Resilience and Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate for Everyone
Thursdays from August 28 to October 30 at 4:00 - 6:00pm PT/7:00 - 9:00pm ET
Created by LaUra Schmidt and Aimee Lewis Reau, Good Grief Network's 10-Step program is a peer-to-peer support group where we can start attending to our collective wounding and traumas created by surviving in unjust systems.
In the program, we connect 1.5 to 2 hours each week over 10 weeks. During that time we learn to attune to one another to process our heavy and painful feelings about the state of the world, build community connections, and (re-)discover meaning and joy. This group is facilitated by GGN-trained and certified FLOW Facilitators Kristan Childs and Michael James-Deramo. Scholarships, work exchanges, and sliding scale pricing is available.
