Your Morbid Friends is a partnership between an LCSW and an Ecopsychologist, both experienced professionals with a breadth of knowledge who are passionate about death literacy and changing death culture.
Robin and Cassandra met as co-workers at a psychiatric private practice in NYC. They became morbid friends at a psychedelics conference, after discovering (over falafel) that they both dreamed of creating supportive spaces for grief. They continued to talk and brainstorm how to spread The Gospel of Death Is Not So Scary, put a few events on the calendar, and four months later, Your Morbid Friends was an official business.
Your Morbid Friends work with individuals and families, community spaces, schools, and other organizations to help untangle and understand individual and collective relationships with death, mortality, and ourselves. We have run groups for people of various backgrounds and across the lifespan, touching on the different sizes and shapes of grief and how to integrate it. Participants frequently cite their gratitude for the much-needed space. Your Morbid Friends are excited to continue co-creating these spaces both physically and virtually.
Cassandra Biron, LCSW is dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s transitions, particularly at the end of life. Her work is guided by her love for people and their stories, and a love and value for elders instilled in her from an early age by her mother. Her private practice specializes in queer care and psychedelic prep and integration. Fueled by her passion for community care and creating unique treatment plans, Cassandra’s work is rooted in healing justice and turning ancestral wounds into ancestral gifts.
Robin Silver, MA, has been talking about mortality since kindergarten. She has an MA in Ecopsychology and mindfulness instructor certification from Naropa University, where she also took courses on Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. She has also undertaken an eclectic breadth of trainings and retreats around the US, Mexico, and Asia. Robin’s work comes from the belief that we must tend to our psychological, emotional, spiritual, and ecological bodies as much as our physical body.
