Facing the Mourning Facilitator Training

Learn to run our flagship program, Facing the Mourning. An interactive support group designed to help with the grieving process by using visual and thought-provoking tools. During these four sessions, the participants share their story, build memorials, compose letters, write in journals and develop goals with milestones. Designed for all types of losses, individuals and family members.

Our facilitator training will enable you to offer this program through your organization.

Please join us on Friday, May 16th at 11am (MST) for the next training on Zoom.

Learn through Participation

Join one of our upcoming 4-Week Facing the Mourning groups to experience the program first-hand. Take what you have learned in the training and see it applied, while also engaging in the discussions and activities yourself and explore your grief experiences as a fellow griever. By doing so, you will enhance your facilitation skills.

More About Facing the Mourning

Monthly Grief Support Groups

We ask anyone who attends group be in a space where they are participating as a griever, rather than an educational opportunity. Our highest priority is the sanctity of groups. If you want to learn about grief support groups by observing and not participating, we invite you to attend trainings or to watch our Open Support Group videos as groups are not a learning or observational environment.

If you are curious about how a group runs, we invite you to watch one of our videos or to fill out this interest form so that we can support your learning in the most meaningful way, we’d love to connect with you.
