TESTIMONIALS:
The knowledge provided in this curriculum sets us all up for success. Great course!
This is an amazing class. Not only do you receive an education on the grief process, you leave feeling motivated to be better.
The information and tools provided were far more than expected. Excellent!
The wealth of information obtained from this course has been extremely valuable. Each session was extremely informative and the training environment was a safe supportive space. Lynda never hesitated to answer questions or make sure the information was fully understood.
This course was everything it was advertised to be. If you are in ANY role that works with the bereaved and grieving this will be worth the investment!
This is such a gift to all care providers.
