BLOMQUIST HALE WEBINARS
Blomquist Hale will provide webinars and workshops on a monthly basis.
Grief Series - Disability and Chronic Illness
April 15 | 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Online
Learn about the grief that is experienced when coping with a disability or chronic illness. We will discuss how this impacts individuals and their loved ones; we will learn how disability and chronic illness are experienced differently depending on individual circumstances; we will talk about tools to cope with this kind of grief; and resources will be available at the end of the presentation. This will be a discussion about overall disability and chronic illness, and not focused on one specific experience.
Complex Grief: Understanding, Healing, and Renewal
April 22 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Online
Grief doesn’t always move in a straight line. Sometimes it lingers in the body, the nervous system, and our sense of self. This presentation explores complex grief through a gentle, trauma-informed lens, helping you connect to physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and identity changes after loss. You’ll learn practical, body-based, and emotional coping skills to support regulation, healing, and self-understanding.
BLOMQUIST HALE SUPPORT GROUPS
Blomquist Hale will provide support groups at no cost.
We Are Here (LGBTQIA+)
Occurs the 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
This group offers a safe, affirming space where LGBTQIA+ individuals can connect and share experiences. It is our hope that this group can help reduce isolation, foster a sense of belonging, and provide emotional support from others who understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Leadership Support- Helping Each Other Provide Persuasive and Inspirational Leadership
March 24 | Occurs every other week | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Our Support Groups are different from our workshops, as they are more focused on creating connections within the group to help people support each other. Participants will be encouraged to turn their cameras on and participate in the group. These will be ongoing groups that don’t follow a curriculum. Participants can jump in at any time and be a part of the group.
URS
A convenient, hassle-free way to learn. You can participate in any URS webinar using your computer or phone. Pre-recorded presentations are available if you are unable to attend.
These presentations are open to all employees, whether on a URS retirement plan or not.
Social Security Basics
April 16 | 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Social Security replaces a percentage of a worker's pre-retirement income based on your lifetime earnings. The amount of your average earnings that Social Security retirement benefits replace depends on your earnings and when you choose to start benefits.
