Description

It has always been your calling to help the suffering.

And today a growing wave of grieving clients is looking to professionals like you for assistance as dramatic rises in death and loss have left millions in anguish.

You’re eager to lead those in pain out of their dark places and give them a glimmer of hope, but working with death and loss can be intimidating. One wrong step can break the therapeutic alliance and some forms of grief are easy to overlook, preventing you from pursuing the most beneficial treatment path.

How can you ensure you’re prepared?

This one-day certification training will give you step-by-step guidance on identifying specific manifestations of grief and individualizing counseling and treatment so you can normalize clients’ pain, listen in a way their family and friends cannot, and help them rebuild fulfilling lives!

Full of ready-to-use assessment tools, therapeutic approaches, and specific clinical interventions, you’ll finish this training feeling ready and capable to improve grieving clients’ ability to express their emotions, build support, and process their grief in a healthy way.

Best of all, you can add a valuable certification to your resume and become a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP) through Evergreen Certifications upon completion of this training at no additional cost to you!
