Who helped you become the funeral professional you are today?
Funeral service is filled with supportive and compassionate professionals. On Oct. 17, Funeral Professional Peer Support and the Cremation Association of North America will host a peer support meeting to celebrate the mentors who made a difference and talk about the ways we can continue to grow.
Lisa Smith, FPPS wellness director, and Kim Zavrotny, FPPS U.S. program director, will facilitate the October meeting. Together, they’ll talk about the role mentorship has in funeral service. The dynamic between mentor and mentee paves the way for an exchange of thoughts and ideas that foster connection with colleagues.
Given that funeral service attracts people with a strong desire to care for others with compassion, Smith and Zavrotny will talk about the power of peer support and mentorship to promote both wellness and growth in the workplace. At Tuesday’s meeting, they will focus on the key aspects of the mentor relationship to listen, inspire, empower and connect with colleagues from across the profession.
Join Smith, Zavrotny and CANA to talk about your mentor—or mentee—and offer support to your colleagues. Connect with your fellow funeral professional peers on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023 at 8 p.m. ET / 7pm CT / 5 p.m. PT via Zoom link at goCANA.org/peersupport. No registration is required, simply follow the link to join.
