CHILDREN GRIEF & SELF ESTEEM SEMINAR - Sydney Dear Cherene, I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed your Grief course the other day at I have used and will continue to use some of this information with my clients (I work in the disability field with young kids and also teenagers. I have a greater understanding of some of the behavioural issues – realising it isn’t all disability based! Thanks again and I hope you repeat this course so some of my fellow workers may be able to attend. Katrina Maroubra NSW September 2006
When my wife told me about an information night regarding grief management and loss was being held and would I like to attend, my first reaction as a typical aussie male was, " Why would I need this? This is going to be like going to a funeral." Guess what? I was wrong! The night was actually very surprising. I had a great time and this is why-I learnt that the feelings that I have been experiencing were normal and how to rebuild. Listening to Cherene with her insight was excellent.Cherene made us feel very much at ease in a group situation. It was also great to meet and talk to other parents who are experiencing what we are experiencing and knowing that we are not alone. Dear Cherene, I would like to thank you for the wonderful seminar you provided at the West Lakes Resort earlier this month. I have already started to implement the strategies you shared with us. As well as being a teacher and tutor, I have recently started as a Young Carer Support Worker in the Ally Auld, Nuriootpa SA August 2006 Dear Cherene, I attended your seminar on “Children, Grief and Self Esteem” in August at the West Lakes Resort. It was totally uplifting. I have never felt so many emotions in one day! I attended your seminar for my work and to gain helpful information that I could use to help my son and left with so much more. At the end of the day, my mind felt drained and exhilarated all at the same time. Your seminar was very interesting and full of valuable information. It was confronting for me as I have been down some of the roads you spoke about. I have never talked about the incidents in my life and yes, have pushed it all down into the ‘pressure cooker’! One word to explain my feelings at the end of the day ‘RELIEF’, to be told it all right to let it out. As an adult balancing work and family I often forget about myself and ignore the feelings that creep up on me. Your seminar is a must for all who work, live or have children!! I have your quotes and poems in my office and all that read the, stop, enjoy and comment on them. I have started a parent’s group at Daws Road Centre that meet once a term t the moment. (It gives them the chance to meet other parents of children with disabilities). The parents often re-read the quotes when they re-visit. If I hear of any more of your seminars, I will be attending for sure. You’re an inspirational speaker and you have a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us all. Carla Schmidt September 2006
Hi Cherene,
CHILDREN GRIEF & SELF ESTEEM SEMINAR - Sydney I attended the course 'Children, grief and self esteem', i thought it was fantastic. Not only did it help me as a child care professional but it helped me personally also. I recommend this seminar to everyone. Thankyou for making me see a side others would turn their back on. It had been my intention today to find your details and send you a thank you note. Your workshop was inspiring to say the least. I spoke to our head of PD today and passed on my thoughts to her, so next time, maybe a workshop earlier in the year would serve you better. I will certainly be keeping my eyes peeled for you next year. Go well, Chris
Hi Cherene,
Hi Cherene I have been thinking about you over the weekend and how I must email you and thank you for the wonderful courses. I have asked the two dads from the parent group if they would write a piece of their experience. I will then be able to email it to you and I plan to use it on our next flyer to attract more parents to courses. Both dads sounded really happy to be asked. I will send it through to you when I have it. I also wanted to give you this quote from me if you want to use it on your website. Thank you Cherene once again for another invaluable course. I have now attended four of your seminars and I have thoroughly enjoyed and learnt something new from them all. As I have been working in Social Welfare for many years I have attended numerous courses of different value but I can honestly say that each time I have attended your seminars I have taken something away with me of great value to myself and my work. Through courses that I facilitate and for counselling sessions I utilize many of your handouts and pieces of information that have stuck in my memory. Thank you again Cherene for helping me grow and learn. I look forward to the opportunity to attend any courses you offer. Cheers Kylie Fewson Family Support Worker Kurrajong Early Intervention Service Dear Cherene Thank you for a most interesting day on Tuesday at your seminar on Grief and Self Esteem at Bardon Professional Centre in Best wishes Sheryl Guthrie
LOSS & GRIEF SEMINAR HELD AT NORTHGATE CHURCH I think that the seminar in Grief and Loss held at Northgate was a life changing weekend. The content of the teaching was easy to understand and very applicable to my life. I enjoyed breaking up into small groups to discuss our loss issue, as I found that this exercise encouraged me to open up and share like I have never done before. I found that by discussing my loss, I was able to move closer towards healing. I also found it very encouraging to hear other people share about there loses and to see them processing what God was doing in their lives. Although there where many tears, you could see that people where very happy because they finally new how to overcome their grief, they could finally be restored, some of them had been hurting for many years with no idea why, and it was as if the veil had been removed from their eyes and they finally had the answer they needed. This course gave me practical as well as spiritual guidance to living a fulfilled life in God. It taught me how to process my grief, and explained how everyone handles grief differently. I believe that this is a course that all people should attend and especially those who have gone through grief or loss in their lives, as it will empower people to overcome the issues we are often faced with in life. By the end of the course we were all praising God because we all had something to be grateful for, all of our lives had been changed in just a few hours. All the people who attended that course are now closer to each other and closer to being restored by God, thanks to the amazing teachings that Deborah - Northgate Church |
