Community Support Training

Building Grief-Informed Communities

Grief does not stay home when people go to school or work. Teachers see grieving students in their classrooms every day. Counselors are often the first to be called when a student experiences a loss. Organizations and community leaders encounter grief in ways they may not always recognize or feel prepared to address. 

Lost & Found Grief Center offers training for schools, organizations, and professionals who want to better understand grief and learn how to best support students, employees and colleagues who are grieving.
