The mission of the Grief Networking Alliance is to establish a network of lay and professional service providers who share information and resources with individuals, families and communities living with grief.
What is GNA?
GNA is a true networking group, started by grief care professionals in the greater Denver Metro area. The goal of GNA is to create a collaborative platform for professionals to connect, build and establish trusting relationships, share expertise, and collectively provide essential support to each other and the broader community, ultimately fostering a more compassionate and comprehensive approach to grief and end-of-life care.
Upcoming Meetings:
We typically meet about once a quarter. We primarily meet in-person at locations around the greater Denver Metro area, and welcome grief care providers in other areas to join us for virtual meetings when we have them.

NEW! GNA Consultation Group – starting January 2024
Starting in January, 2024 we will begin a monthly virtual Consultation Group for grief care providers. This will be a time to connect, discuss cases and get feedback from each other about ways to help navigate tough situations, get ideas for approaches to try or additional resources to connect with. This consultation group will plan to meet on the second Tuesday monthly at 3pm (MST). We invite any grief care provider who is working directly with bereaved individuals to attend.

Upcoming Special Events for Grief Care Providers:
Program for Professionals & the Community: The Treasure in Trauma by Matt Griffin
A program for grief and end of life care professionals, as well as anyone in the community who has experienced a loss or is supporting a griever.
In this presentation, Matt will explore the idea that even in the midst of our most difficult experiences, there is often a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Trauma can take many forms. It can leave us lost, broken and alone. But what if we could shift our perspective and see trauma as an opportunity for growth and transformation? What if we could turn the pain into progress?
About the Presenter: A father, a former Navy Search and Rescue Swimmer, law enforcement officer, an undercover cop who spent years pretending to be someone he was not, Matt decided he had nothing left to offer his ex-wife, his family, his friends, or his community. But God had bigger plans – a chance phone call only hours before he decided he’d crawl into his SUV and put his gun to his head, stopped him in his tracks, and changed his life. Matt will share his personal journey of healing and how he discovered the treasure behind the trauma. He will offer practical tools and strategies that worked for him and what he learned through the research for his 4x #1 bestselling book “The Journey to Midnight.”
Registration Required. Certificate of Completion provided upon request to professionals in attendance.
