Bereavement Coordinator Certificate

The Bereavement Coordinator Certificate program is a two-day intensive experiential workshop where you will learn how to deliver evidenced-based programs and interventions to grieving individuals and communities.

Grief is often a taboo subject in certain cultures. Grief, loss, death and dying are usually topics avoided, minimized, or denied. Knowing how to engage and help individuals navigate the grieving process is crucial to prevent complicated grief or intense grief symptoms.

In this program, you will engage in group discussions centered on case vignettes, learn how to develop a bereavement care plan, and practice facilitating a support group through role play. You’ll receive practical tools—including discussion guides and sample care plans—and participate in hands-on activities designed to build skills you can apply immediately after completing the training.

Details:

• Develop knowledge of grief, loss and the impact it has on overall well-being
• How grief and loss impact individuals and families
• Understand the role of the Bereavement Coordinator
• Learn about bereavement support programming
• Develop skills and knowledge leading grief support groups
• Learn experiential interventions to engage clients or groups in the grief and healing process

This course is open to Unlicensed and Licensed Social Workers (LBSW, LMSW, LCSW), Counselors, Early Responders, Clerics, and any other professional who wishes to develop specialized knowledge in this area.

Note: PEWD program participants should be 18 years or older.

No prerequisites are required.
