INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Have you found on your grief journey that the resources were few and far between? Maybe that they all said something similar without being overly profound or helpful?
I’m proud to share this week’s conversation with you, as it centers around grief resources and support that are truly transformational, and come from COPE, which is a nonprofit grief and healing organization dedicated to helping parents and families living with the loss of a child.
Adam Rabinovitch is the Executive Director of COPE and he joins me for this episode. Previous to COPE, he was Executive Director of GOAL - a nonprofit educational program that provides children from under-served communities with the resources to help them get the most out of their education.
Prior to that he was Deputy Director of Neighbors Link, nonprofit committed to strengthening the healthy integration of immigrants in local communities.
Adam is also proud to serve on the board of Babies and Mothers Alive, a non-governmental organization and social enterprise dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in East Africa.
