Service Description
[Virtual] Living with Grief & Loss: Remembering Our Loved Ones Together by Kaelin Rubenzer on Wednesday evenings, 6:00-8:00 pm CST from 3/31/27- 5/5/27 online using Zoom Experiencing loss is life-changing, and everyone grieves in their own way. In this six-week class, we will discuss what death means, explore other cultures traditions for funerals and memorials, and work together as a class to find meaning in our loss. We will practice talking about death in clear, honest words, and identify who we can talk to and when. Together, we will try out ways to cope, like therapeutic art, storytelling, music, breathing exercises, and spending time with people we trust. Each student will also complete a personal support plan to share with family and caregivers, as well as a memory project to honor someone they miss. This bereavement-support class will be a safe and welcoming space to remember, ask questions, and find comfort in community.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
