  • Discussion on contemporary grief theory

Professional Development Opportunities for Schools, Groups, and Organizations

Throughout the year, Peter’s Place offers continuing education opportunities and trainings for professionals. Regardless of specialty, most therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals come in to contact with topics or individuals in the space of grief and loss. Despite this, many graduate and training programs do not adequately prepare clinicians to address these themes and dominant culture does not encourage open communication about death and dying. This series was created to provide educational and discussion opportunities on issues related to illness, death, dying and bereavement for helping professionals.
