Mourning and Living with grief

What is grief? That’s the starting point for this training workshop, which demystifies grief, or rather bereavement, to equip us when we experience it or accompany others. Often a source of discomfort, denial or silence, grief is a process that enables a bereaved person to start fresh. Those around them can contribute to a positive method by understanding the particularities of this tumultuous journey.

Bereavement has physical and psychological impacts on all individuals, and understanding these can help normalize the experience. Even though grief is unique, many authors have identified phases of mourning, both in the way it is experienced and in its pace. Four ways of looking at the process will be presented.

If your audience is a group of seniors, these training workshops are offered free of charge thanks to a grant from the Federal Government through the New Horizons for Seniors Program.

If your audience is not seniors, the cost is $150.

Groups of 10 to 20 people.
Available Monday to Friday

Supporting the bereaved

People are grieving all around us, in our family, among our office colleagues or in our community. We are close to them, but do we know how to support them through this challenging time? Do we know how to be present without judgment?

This training workshop briefly introduces active listening and helping a bereaved person.

These training workshops deal with grief in general. Specific personal situations are not addressed, but resources will be offered. Questions and sharing are welcome.

If your audience is a group of seniors, these training workshops are offered free of charge thanks to a grant from the Federal Government through the New Horizons for Seniors Program.

Bereavement training

For schools, educational institutions, businesses, community organizations and any other group of people.

While our society obscures the reality of death, everyone is inevitably confronted with this situation at some point, whether it is a death or the announcement of a serious illness that makes grief predictable. This is true in all forms of organizations, where grief is experienced and where people are grieving.

This training may be of interest to organizations concerned with the mental well-being of the people who work for them. The training aims to demystify grief and help participants deal with it, individually and collectively.

Goals of the training

To help understand what grief is and the importance of its uniqueness.
To help normalize the emotions and feelings experienced.
To identify appropriate attitudes and behaviors towards others.

Duration: 3 hours

Fees:

$300 + transportation costs.
A reduced fee is available for non-profit organizations.
