Compassionate Bereavement Education

Do you work with bereaved family members after a child’s death, suicide, homicide, accidents, or other losses? The MISS Foundation and Dr. Joanne Cacciatore offer an intensive, four-day training in traumatic grief to providers around the world. It’s a rare opportunity to become a Certified Provider in Compassionate Bereavement Care (R), a mindfulness-based, non-medicalized approach to traumatic grief, with trainings held at Selah House, near stunning Sedona, Arizona. Offering 30 CEUs (continuing education credits), this one-of-a-kind, specialized program, prepares you for an in-demand field of training often overlooked in graduate and post-graduate training. The next CBC Provider training (in person and virtual) will be held April 18-21, 2024.
