dc.description.abstractWhat’s Your Grief (WYG) operates as a nonprofit organization under the fiscal sponsorship of the 501(c)(3) Fusion Partnerships and provides a hub of community support and learning resources to normalize and support the grieving process. WYG focuses on providing external resources to grievers, those supporting grievers, and grief professionals. This positive psychology intervention aims to bring character strengths to the grief space with a strengths-based grieving guidebook for grief professionals. The guidebook is meant to be used as one of the many tools to support grievers through various strengths-based interventions, practitioner tips, and measurement tools. This intervention is a step towards bridging the gap between positive psychology and the grief space which can be used in the future to help mental health professionals tap into the strengths of each griever and design optimal interventions. Since more research is needed on designing strengths-based interventions with grieving populations, this guidebook should not be used as a prescriptive tool to diagnose or replace other mental health resources.
