Grief Education & Training

Grow Your Understanding of Grief

What is Grief Education and Training?

Tides’ Grief Education and Training program aims to build up and empower local professionals to positively influence grieving children, teens and adults with strong and knowledgeable leaders.

Learn More – Support More

As a grief support organization, Tides is passionate about educating and training professionals in our local community who work directly with individuals and families who have experienced loss. Grief Education programming is designed to better equip professionals to support grieving individuals in their immediate community.

Who’s It For?

Professionals can include counselors, teachers, direct care workers, social service providers, or others who are interested in better supporting grieving individuals. Mental health professionals are a key component to a healthy support system for both children and adults.
