Exploring & expressing grief

Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.

“CNCA meetings have always given us great opportunities to highlight the progress we’ve achieved as a community and to learn how our fellow cities continue to push the envelope,” Kendra Tupper, chief sustainability and resilience officer, said in a prepared statement. “We are proud to have this event here in Boulder and honored to be the first United States host city.”

On Sept. 6, there will be a public town hall to coincide with the summit and will be hosted by the City of Boulder, the CNCA and the University of Colorado Boulder. The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. at eTown Hall, 1535 Spruce Street. The event is free, with a limited amount of tickets available online, and will also be streamed online. 

The town hall will feature representatives from Copenhagen, Melbourne, New York City, Oslo, Rio de Janeiro and Yokohama discussing how their cities are addressing climate change.
