You have access to almost unlimited support from the institute. In fact, near the end of the training we will instruct you never to answer a griever unless you are sure your response is correct. Rather, you will tell them that you will get back to them, and call us for assistance. With more than 30 years of cumulative experience, there is almost no set of circumstances that we have not dealt with. There are no fees for this continuing service.
Credits vary from state to state and province to province and within each discipline.
You will need to apply to your own organization. We will supply whatever backup support we can. The program consists of 35 actual classroom hours. The Grief Recovery Certification Program is educational rather than therapeutic, all that is required is a loving heart and a genuine desire to help grieving people. While many of our certified personnel are licensed mental health professionals, many come from other areas, such as the funeral and cemetery industry and the clergy.
