Grief Support Training for professionals and other helpers

.In addition to direct service to grieving young people, the mission of The Center for Grieving Children, Teens and Families includes training for professionals and others who interact with grieving people. Since 1995, The Center has been a leader in grief training in the Philadelphia region, offering hundreds of programs.

Preparedness for effective grief intervention needs to begin long before a crisis event occurs. The Center offers training to prepare helpers for this intervention role. From two-hour workshops to day-long conferences and retreats, our programs are engaging and interactive, using training designs that match the way adults process information, learn, and build skills.

Training can be held at your site, or your organization can reserve The Center’s facility, for a workshop specifically designed for your group. In addition, training is held regularly at The Center as part of our ongoing programming, including an annual fall conference for professionals. Check our web site for details.
