A 2013 UMW alumna, she\u2019s also this year\u2019s Department of Psychological Science Graduate-in-Residence.<\/p>\n<p>In that role, she\u2019ll give a free public lecture titled \u201cTalking about the Tough Stuff: Helping caregivers find the\u00a0words to explain a loved one\u2019s terminal illness or end-stage disease to\u00a0children.\u201d The talk will take place on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 4 p.m., in the Hurley Convergence Center Digital Auditorium. While she\u2019s on campus, Gellene-Beaudoin will also discuss her experience in the field of clinical social work in classes including developmental psychology, psychopathology and clinical psychology. And she\u2019ll have lunch with students interested in pursuing careers in related fields.<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Yorktown, Virginia, Gellene-Beaudoin was a high-schooler set on studying psychology and pursuing a career in mental health when she discovered Mary Washington in a book about colleges. \u201cI read about the psychology program and could tell it was robust and I would have the small class sizes and personal relationships with professors, which I felt would give me the educational experience where I could be most successful,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to earn a master\u2019s degree in social work from the University of Southern California and work in a pediatric home health and hospice organization for nearly a decade, serving children with life-threatening illnesses in Virginia\u2019s Hampton Roads area. There, she provided counseling and play therapy to patients and families navigating anticipatory grief following terminal diagnoses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned quickly how vital it was for these families to have compassionate and nonjudgmental support with them as they walk such a difficult path,\u201d said Gellene-Beaudoin, who won a local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtkr.com\/positivelyhr\/social-workers-at-edmarc-in-portsmouth-nominated-for-helping-local-families-navigate-hospice\">\u201ceveryday hero\u201d award<\/a> last year for her work. She has written two children\u2019s books \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Our-Baby-Loved-life-threatening-condition\/dp\/B0CKD5LMB7\"><em>Our Baby is Loved<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/When-Hope-Changes-children-terminal\/dp\/B0CQ8CK43F\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9DAL4WWZLZMU&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2Vg3T4VuqM0BZ3ahVsBm9kMjsQoXHNHelFz5WCJk9EzGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.SngG0FqRlZNfYl7XLJOEqeXupIJGn7_b7q3jYFBQKko&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=when+hope+changes%2C+abigail&amp;qid=1725982022&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=when+hope+changes%2C+abigail+%2Cstripbooks%2C60&amp;sr=1-1\"><em>When Hope Changes<\/em><\/a>, which also delve into dealing with life-threatening illness.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, she transitioned to a new job as a psychotherapist at Peninsula Child and Family Services, where she plans to continue her focus on chronic and terminal illness, grief and loss, and perinatal mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear about so many professionals who are afraid of the natural process of grief, and who do their work based on a formulaic or arbitrary agenda of healing,\u201d she said. \u201cMy hope is that the students or community members who attend this lecture will leave feeling like they can help families support their kids through this immense hardship, or maybe even feel like their own personal grief experiences are validated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Department of Psychological Science Graduate-in-Residence program began in 1995 as a part of career advising.
