Become more fluent in the essential elements of grief, enhance your skills in accompanying others through grief and learn to attend to your own grief to prevent compassion fatigue, burnout and the other mental and physical health consequences of unattended grief.  Heart Land offers customized, multi-day trainings for professional development.

​

Grief comes from many sources and the faces of loss are many;  loss of health or vitality, independence, role in family, loss of home/community and loss from death such as the death of a spouse.  In a care setting, grief happens when clients die or transition to another level of care, and is compounded, for staff and volunteers, by losses in their personal lives.

​

You will leave with a strategic direction to develop or strengthen workplace grief resources, a repertoire of tools to support people in grief and care for yourself so that you can be available to care for others.

​

The benefits of the training for service providers include improved quality and consistency of care for clients, increased staff retention and higher staff morale and cohesiveness.

​

It is a highly experiential training, combining grief education, personal reflection, group dialogue and many opportunities to learn to give and receive grief support.
