We all absorb knowledge differently, whether
it’s by reading, video tape or simple trial and error. But
speaking directly with distinguished experts and practitioners is
an exciting and revealing experience for anyone. Especially for
those going through the grieving process from loss, the perspectives
born of experience can comfort and inspire.
Share the experience of innovative and successful practitioners
like those you can hear from and respond to in our TeleClasses,
Seminars and Online Learning. They are gifted in reaching others
as helping professionals, but also in their ability to convey
their ideas clearly to others who share the goal of healing.
Groups are kept small enough to
ensure you the ability to participate and benefit. Topics are specific
enough to provide a deep experience for those seeking answers in
their own grief or that of other people they care about. Hours are
convenient to people with different routines. And access is as easy
as dialing your telephone into a conference line or logging into
the class.
Here’s another time- and expense-saving way to get professional support
and enrichment at www.GriefSupportServices.org
These seminars utilizing conference-call technology are more
than convenient. Just the ability to access this kind of enrichment
over the telephone or online would certainly be enough to make
enrollment worthwhile. But the seminars offer much more!
