Grief Support Group Facilitators at Joel's Place for Children

​

Our 20-hour facilitator training takes place in August every year. A comprehensive manual is provided. The training includes:

• Sharing personal loss experiences

• Reviewing developmental stages of childhood

• Exploring how developmental stages relate to the grieving process

• Examining what support groups look like

• Sharing activities to facilitate the expression of feelings

No prior training or experience is required. All that is needed is the ability to listen and a compassionate heart.
