An Introduction to Migratory Grief

Welcome to An Introduction to Migratory Grief! Join us for an online event where we will explore the complexities of grief that arise from migration. Led by Charlene Patron-Drigo, RPC-C, this session aims to provide insights and coping strategies for individuals navigating the unique challenges of mourning across different cultures and borders. Whether you are an immigrant, a refugee, or someone supporting a loved one through this journey, this event is for you. Let’s come together to share, learn, and heal. Register now to secure your spot!

Balikbayan is the Filipino term for homecoming. It is often understood as a large box filled with goods and gifts one takes with them when they return to the Philippines. This balikbayan box has become a symbol of how our love and care for community extends across seas, and that despite the distance we still think of home and those we are separated from.
