BusinessTalk with Therese Ross and Betsy Flores, Rick’s Place: Talking Through Grief

For almost 20 years, Rick’s Place — named for Rick Thorpe, a Wilbraham native who died at the World Trade Center on 9/11 — has helped children, adolescents, and their families navigate the grief of death and loss, by bringing them together to process their common experiences, but also reaching out into schools and the community with grief support resources. On the next installment of BusinessTalk, BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar talks with Therese Ross and Betsy Flores about why this work is important, the dangers of letting feelings of grief and loss go unexplored, and how to support Rick’s Place, both financially and by joining its team of dedicated volunteers. It’s must listening, so tune in to BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest over both audio and video platforms, and sponsored by Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
