Audience: Grief and bereavement professionals from the Bereavement Coalition
The Bereavement Coalition is make up of people who work with grief in the Richmond, Virginia area. Many of the members are hospice bereavement counselors, or social workers or LPCs who work with grief, chaplains, or community members who lead in groups like compassionate friends. We often have social work students who attend as well. So we have a range of education and experience levels, and a variety of ways of serving- but we are all interested in providing care for people who are grieving.
