Through presentations, workshops, and in-depth training, we aim to increase grief literacy in our communities. Whether you're part of a workplace, healthcare team, school, or simply looking to support someone in grief, our educational offerings are designed to equip you with knowledge, tools, and compassion.
Loss occurs and grief is the natural result. Too often in the past, and still today, we are asked to "get over" a loss quickly, return to work in a short period of time, and behave as if little or nothing has occurred. Neither employer nor employee wins in this model.
Our aim is to help everyone become more grief literate, destigmatizing grief and promoting the understanding that grief is normal.
We deliver half- and full-day workshops and 2-hour presentations to healthcare teams, emergency responders, senior care facility staff, and others. We offer similar programs to businesses and corporations and can tailor a workshop or presentation to staff of any size from 10 to 50. We also offer presentations to seniors, community centre groups, and schools.
