About Shapes of Grief
An award-winning online Professional Training & Education on Loss, Bereavement & Grief to individuals and professionals.
Grief is a normal, adaptive response to loss and is an inevitable part of all of our lives.
It can take many forms such as bereavement, loss of a relationship, retirement, acquired injury or disability.
The most obvious form of loss is bereavement, and millions of people are bereaved around the globe annually.
Most (60% of bereaved people) individuals will not need professional support after a loss, but for those that do (40% of bereaved people), adequate grief counselling is hard to come by due to a lack of grief training standards for mental health professionals in many countries around the world.
Liz Gleeson, a highly experienced psychotherapist who specialises in loss and grief, has taken action to address this deficit in accessible and evidence based Grief Training & Education in the Shapes Of Grief online Grief Training.
The Shapes of Grief online training programme has over 35 hours of evidence-based learning from grief specialists, psychologists, mental health and medical professionals, many of whom are experts in the field of Grief and Loss and most with personal, first-hand experience of loss too.
The content is presented in an interesting, engaging and safe manner.
