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.

“Oh brother! More ways to waste our money.”
Calling Speaker McCarthy and the GOP majority in Congress. Start removing these line items from the budget as well as pools of undesignated discretionary spending.
Talk about worthless jobs!
These people simply aren’t sane.
Southwest region… meaning all the illegals are destroying the environment.
Worthless jobs for worthless people. All parasites.
Get rid of crap like this before we even think about discussing social security.
The indoctrination is picking up speed.
PJ Boy/man? is drinking some hot cocoa
What a bunch of sissies some folks are- grief counselors for Nancies that cry because a puddle gets paved over? What the What?
I no longer care
Fee fees mean zip to the actual damage to an entire region and its people
They should recruit their counselors from the newly unemployed refugees from East Palestine, Ohio to come in and run their little “wussy workshops” - creating a win-win as the Ohioans slap the crap out of these whiny pussies!
People taught to be victims from a young age.

I hope he didn’t use a gas stove to heat it up. Because that’s an eco crime these days.

Hmmm... I don't know why, but I visualize bunch of unwash women with hairy armpits and legs, standing in a circle, holding hands and giving comfort to one another...
A government made religion.
These idiots wouldn’t know the natural world even if it fell on them ,LOL
As St. Paul said, “I rather be with Christ.”
Snowflakeism is now institutionalized
Yes, I detest having to take the stupid “diversity and inclusion” courses and other woke B.S. Everyone else I know hates it, too. But at least I can take them from home during work hours and nobody can see my expressions of distaste.
