Wouldn’t it be great if grief came wrapped up in a tidy little package? What if we could watch grief progress in a predictable, linear fashion, following set and pre-determined timelines?

Unfortunately, grief just does not work that way.

In our society, where people hesitate to talk openly about death and dying, it is crucial that individuals have a place to go where they feel safe to grieve — a place where they can find comfort.

This is where you come in.

While the 5 Stages of Grief model has proven beneficial at helping us understand grief, this model is oversimplified. As care professionals, we need more than the 5 Stages of Grief to truly help our clients.

Much more.

Now you can access a whole new approach to grief work. In this exclusive online certification training, you will learn evidence-based grief strategies and treatment methods that you can use with clients across the lifespan.

You’ll join bereavement expert Alissa Drescher, LPC, FT, GC-C, MA, as she moves you through powerful training videos that incorporate her own personal experiences with profound loss — giving you a solid foundation for you to grow your expertise.

Register today and build your confidence as a grief counselor — in just six hours.

PS – You’ll end this course with the education you need to become a Certified Grief Informed Professional. And, for a limited time, your certification application is included FREE with your registration.
