Presenter
Mike Ridge, MSW, LCSW
Mike brings a multifaceted approach to his work as a grief counselor. As a young man, he left film school in New York to become an award-winning television news photographer, whose work took him from the White House to the depths of human suffering. He later graduated from an HBCU, then worked as a broadcast writer and producer. After volunteering with Capital Caring he returned to university for his MSW, becoming first a hospice social worker and now a grief counselor. He is particularly interested in alcoholism & addiction and the effects of trauma. He sees grief as a reflection of love and the most transformational of human experiences.
