For Communities
All of us can be part of a community of hope and healing. With a basic understanding of the grief process and a few key skills, we can help your community be grief-informed and sensitive to your colleagues and acquaintances who have experienced a loss.
GrieveWell partners with libraries, churches, community groups, colleges and other organizations to build a more compassionate, supportive grief-informed culture.
See Our Workshops
Contact us to bring GrieveWell workshops to your community. These programs help participants learn about grief, build skills to support the bereaved, and develop greater understanding and compassion for those in grief.
If you are supporting individuals within your community who are experiencing grief, it can be helpful to:
- Learn about grief, so that you can provide important information and feedback to the bereaved
- Be a resource for others within your community and help them find the information they need to be supportive
- Listen without judgment
- Suggest services and resources that might help the bereaved process their thoughts and feelings in a way that works for them
- Understand if your offer for help is not accepted
- Recognize the normal symptoms of grief, and look for signs that the bereaved needs additional help
- Respect that each grief journey is unique, and each individual will express his or her grief differently
