Full Circle Grief Center offers a number of grief education workshops to communities, organizations, and groups who are seeking more training or professional development on grief-related topics. Our grief education workshops equip adults with the knowledge, skills, and self-awareness necessary to help themselves or someone else who is grieving. They also provide professionals or families with information and additional resources about the grieving process, and help adults become more comfortable talking about the death and dying process.
Grief is a universal human experience, yet many individuals and communities feel unprepared to cope with the realities of death and loss. In the absence of support and education, grief can feel isolating, overwhelming, and even stigmatized. Grief education programs provide critical guidance, resources, and compassionate spaces that help people understand and navigate their experience of loss or support.
Facilitation
All grief education workshops at Full Circle are facilitated by our Executive Director, or a member of our professional clinical staff with extensive background in mental health and grief counseling. Our mental health professionals can lead educational programming for schools, organizations, places of worship, corporations, communities, or other non-profit agencies.
