“The tone of the workshop was perfect. I felt very welcomed and encouraged to participate, ask questions, and actively learn. I came back to school today and one of the first students to come to my office is one of the students in my grief group. I would definitely recommend the workshop to any counselor, teacher or individual who works with kids.”

“Very thorough presentation. I learned a lot about the importance of empathic listening: although I have been trained and use this technique, Good Grief exposed me to new concepts and strengthened my understanding. I learned that just being with people in their grief is okay. If anything, it was too short. Thank you for the powerful work you do.”

Working intimately with death and grief is hard work. You witness so much heartbreak, you hear pain and suffering that so few people are exposed to on a daily basis, and you are tasked with the great responsibilities of memorializing and caring for those who are hurting.
Grief in the Workplace
Good Grief works with corporations and businesses to assess their culture, identify the needs of grieving employees within that culture, prevent risks and absenteeism, and sustain productivity through preparedness and coaching.

health-related issues every year.
$75 Billion

EDUCATION
Grief in the workplace can be expected. Whether the death of a parent, sibling, colleague, friend, spouse or child, grief happens inside and outside of the workplace.
Grief is uncontrollable and an often consuming distraction. In order to understand the nature of grief and prevent its effects on productivity, comprehensive policies and a grief-informed culture needs to be established.
Effectively decreases grief-related costs requires preparedness. A reactionary response will be insufficient.
ADVISE
Understanding and creating preventative practices to support grief in the workplace are the foundation to decreasing grief-related expenses.
As situations unfold and challenges present themselves, coaching helps a manager or team better understand the situation from the grief perspective, while also presenting alternative solutions to supporting the bereaved and the team during this time of adversity.
CREATE
The impact of grief in the workplace is remediated by creating a grief-informed culture, best practices, and effective communication strategies across teams and the institution.
The creation of these practices requires the expertise of professionals who understand the dynamics, unpredictability, and diversity of grief.
Similarly, understanding the needs of the bereaved is the best way to be supportive and establish preventative strategies.

Consultation and Coaching
Good Grief partners with schools and organizations to empower professionals to be grief educated. In collaboration with our curriculum, trainings, and other resources, customized coaching is provided to teachers and administrators looking to work through a challenge and opportunity.
BEFORE
The best time to start a conversation on death, loss, and grief is before it occurs in the school, business, organization, or community. Preventative care is the most effective way to equip children, teens, and adults with the tools and resources needed to face adversity, be resilient, develop healthy coping strategies, and create supportive environments.
Good Grief works with schools, nonprofits, corporations, and businesses to assess their culture, identify the needs that exist within that culture, prevent risks, and create supportive environments through preparedness training and coaching.
Through our workshops, resources, curriculum, and coaching we are equipping communities to be prepared.
DURING
Whether it is the death of a student, faculty member, or colleague, Good Grief provides support in the aftermath of a death in the community.
Through workshops, facilitated conversations, or coaching, Good Grief will empower you with the tools and resources needed to know how to respond to death and loss.
AFTER
Perhaps your community is still feeling the effects of a loss or you want to be better prepared next time.
We will work with you to provide training and resources that meet your needs.
We will coach you through a difficult situation or a time of uncertainty.
Even if it has been a while since a death occurred in your community, it’s not too late to get the educated and be prepared for the future.
