The Grief Training Center

Learn to walk with others through their grief.

Transformative

Many participants find themselves surprised at the unique depth and value of our grief training. 

We recognize the wholeness of grief’s impact on one’s mind, body, heart, and soul.  Our approach is not about analyzing, directing, or resolving another’s grief.  Instead, it’s about making a difference in the lives of others through core principles and behaviors that truly nourish, heal, and empower one along their journey through grief.

Honoring Grief: Intending to Heal

Our pinnacle program.  An in-depth, experiential, five-session training series for those who wish to companion the bereaved or are already doing so in various capacities. 

Honoring Grief: Intending to Heal delivers a unique and transformative approach to grief and bereavement support. 

Rooted in three core, proven principles, this training prepares you to competently companion the bereaved with confidence and compassion while providing insight and application through your own grief and healing.  It’s an excellent approach to companioning and integrates with any modality of support for the bereaved.

This training is exceptionally powerful because it is experiential, guiding one to transform oneself into a companion for the bereaved through one’s own grief experience.

“The teachers are extremely gifted in sharing these amazing ideas and concepts, but the most valuable part of the training was the change in me."
Debbie
Social Worker
