Since 1991, GriefConnect has been engaged in a diversity of efforts to improve the support and counseling available to bereaved individuals, families, and even entire communities. Here are a few of the projects with which we have been involved, perhaps in an organization with needs similar to yours…

… Delivering on-site sponsored training workshops for groups from 5 to 500. Our team travels to provide about 75 of these workshops every year

… Offering training for K-12 school systems around the U.S. and Canada

… Helping congregations of all sizes develop professional and/or lay-led bereavement ministries

… Recruiting, training, and providing ongoing supervision to funeral home personnel responsible for aftercare and community outreach

… Producing the content for an electronic newsletter used by organizations in better connecting with partners in health and human services. We call it GriefPerspectives and are happy to tell you more about how your organization can use it.

… Assisting hospice organizations in developing more robust bereavement support programs

… Developing customized and semi-customized print and digital (web-based) bereavement support materials for hospices, funeral homes, congregations, and other organizations

… Assisting universities and colleges develop courses and programs related to thanatology (the technical name for the field of death, dying, bereavement)

… Helping funeral professionals learn a grief-informed process to improve the funeral arrangement process for the families served
