Grief does not follow a predictable path — and supporting it well requires more than helping someone “move on.”

Grief can be complex, deeply personal and shaped by misconceptions about what a “healthy” grieving process should look like.

Participants will strengthen their ability to:
• Recognize common myths and misconceptions about grief
• Understand current theoretical approaches to grief and bereavement
• Support a healthy grief process in clients, families and themselves
• Identify practical grief-specific resources
