Online Vasculitis Mental Health Workshop Series 2020
The mental health impact of Vasculitis is not adequately addressed within our care settings, yet many of us with chronic conditions such as Vasculitis invariably develop complex mental health challenges and have a diminished quality of life as a result.
Dr. Velma Mockett developed this online series to help individuals with vasculitis improve their mental health outcomes so that they can learn to maintain optimal health and wellbeing despite their condition.

Vasculitis Mental Health Workshop #2
Living With, Through and Beyond Vasculitis (5 Sessions)
Join Dr. Mockett to learn about Loss & Grief and Vasculitis using PROJECT R (RESET). The threats to our health and relationships caused by Vasculitis can be difficult to navigate and understand. For many of us it feels like we are walking down a dividing line between the past and the future. When we look backward, we can see everything vasculitis has taken from us, or has forced us to relinquish.
It is easy to ignore these losses and just keep doing the things that need to be done. However, these losses lead to grief, and grief can be challenging to navigate. It is important to identify our losses and let ourselves grieve the changes that have happened in our lives.
Dates: Friday, September 11, 18, 25, October 2 & 9, 2020
Time: 12 noon to 1:30PM Eastern Time; 10AM to 11:30AM Mountain Time
Cost: C$175:00
