HPCF Education Program

Grief Workshops

We now offer the opportunity to provide grief workshops and/or presentations that support children and adults in your community or school who are dealing with grief. Your organization, school, church, club, etc... can host us to come and sponsor an event centered around grief education. We can provide all trainers and materials! All that we ask in return is that will be allowed to make information about our organization to the participants (e.g. brochures, flyers).

Workshops can be short as one hour, virtual, on the weekend, or during company retreats.

You can find topic ideas and more information by clicking here!
