In-Service Training for Current Volunteers

Volunteers in our program enjoy special workshops from leading practitioners in the field of bereavement. This training is provided to volunteers free of charge as part of our on-going commitment to our volunteers.

Teen Performance Troupe

This outreach program consists of a group of teens from The Children’s Room who have created their own authentic performance that describes their personal experiences in both poignant and humorous ways. The troupe program runs from late Fall through Spring with performances typically starting in February. They are available to perform at schools - for student or faculty, at conferences, for graduate school programs - any audience that would benefit from this unique perspective on an all too common experience. The program typically runs for about forty-five minutes plus thirty minutes for a Q&A and discussion period.  More information is available.

Parenting Through Grief Workshops

These parent to parent workshops are led by “alumni” parents who offer their experiences and insights in an informal discussion setting.  Here firsthand from parents who have “been there”.  Our upcoming schedule is now available.

Other Training

We welcome the opportunity to post trainings or workshops from our colleagues. Here is a list of current and past trainings.
