The Interior Department’s Fish and Wildlife Service is offering “ecogrief” training to employees who are struggling with a sense of trauma or loss as they witness a changing environment.
The class will give staffers a chance to define what they mean by ecological grief, space to examine their emotional reactions and tools to grapple with those feelings, the agency said in a note to employees in the Southwest region, where the training is offered.
Those who sign up will be led to “find ways to act while caring for themselves.”
“This 4-hour workshop seeks to normalize the wide range of emotional responses that conservationists experience while empowering participants to act while taking care of themselves,” the notice said. “The workshop is intended for those experiencing ecological grief and for those who wish to support them.”
The workshop is being offered twice to employees in the Southwest, which covers Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. Up to 35 people can attend a workshop.
The Washington Times sent multiple inquiries to Fish and Wildlife for this article.
The agency responded to the initial inquiry by asking for more details on the notice, but it did not provide answers to The Times’ questions, including queries about cost or whether regions besides the Southwest were offering similar training.
Congressional Republicans panned the course as a boondoggle.

Good Grief!
Where’s my “freedom grief” counselor?
Oh brother! More ways to waste our money.
This deserves an ecobarf award
How about you just do your job?
I really don’t care how you “feel” about it.
Theses are the kind of jobs that they brag about adding, completely worthless government jobs.
They are doing what Democrats do best: wasting money on useless garbage...............
The bad news is this is the sheriff...
The onion, the bee, or are they being plagerized?
All this garbage is just an excuse to not work.
I’ve had to do more mandatory training in the last year than my past 14 years with this company. It’s all online. Some of it is OK, other parts are not relevant to me and my job, other parts are just stupid.
The best part is that we are required to do the training during normal work hours. I’m on the road a lot and don’t always have normal work hours, but I will stay home for an entire day to take their stupid 30 minute irrelevant training course. I have to do one today. No idea what it’s about.
“Ecogrief trainers” are morons with college diplomas that just can’t find a job.
The Onion & the Bee
Can’t compete
With Reality........................
How about suck it up and get back to work.
This is the most woketard thing I have read today.
.... and it won’t be the last!..................
