When Social Workers grieve a celebrity loss we are often asked to put our grief aside and be an emotional support for others going through the same loss. This can impact our emotions on different levels. Let’s talk about this! In this episode I break it down: What you need to know when a celebrity dies and how it impacts us and the community we work in. How to reduce feelings of overwhelm and increase your coping. Healthy boundaries in grief while social working. You can follow me on Instagram @_catmoore_ Correction- the name of Kobe Bryant’s Basketball school is Mamba Sports Academy
