Grief & Loss

12-Hour Certificate Training Course

While the experience of grief is universal, how a person grieves is often unique and individual. This series highlights the special needs of clients who are faced with grief and loss in their life.

Specific applications also include childhood grief, the loss of a child, grief and loss in a marriage, unrecognized losses, and the impact of disasters on individuals, families, and communities.
