SUMMARY:How to Support Someone Coping with Loss 101 - 301 Courses
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for this immersive Grief Education Training course and learn how to better support students experiencing loss and grief in meaningful\, age-appropriate ways.

Together\, we can help ensure that no student feels alone in their grief. \n*This training is specifically for school teachers. \nSign up here!

SUMMARY:Imagine's Loss & Grief Specialist Community Training (3-Day Intensive)
DESCRIPTION:Space is limited – Sign up here!\n\nJoin us for an experiential learning opportunity designed to deepen your understanding of grief and strengthen your ability to support children\, teens\, and families who are grieving. \nThis 18-hour training (inclusive of a one-hour lunch break each day)\, 9am-4pm each day\, offers a small\, supportive learning environment with no more than 12 participants.
