Grief Workshops
We now offer the opportunity to provide grief workshops and/or presentations that support children and adults in your community 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 would provide all trainers and materials! All we ask in return is that we be allowed to make information about the Foundation available to the participants.
Workshops can be short 1 hour long virtual sessions to weekend long retreats.
