1. Grief Counseling Certificate Program + the Grief Counseling Training Certificate (GCTC)

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline—and neither should your clinical approach. As grief presentations become increasingly complex, clinicians need a deeper, more structured understanding of how to identify, assess, and treat diverse grief responses across the lifespan.

Whether you’re supporting a client with disenfranchised grief, a child experiencing ambiguous loss, or an adult showing signs of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), this self-paced certificate course equips you with practical tools and evidence-based strategies to meet clients where they are in their grief journey.

This comprehensive self-study programe explores more than a dozen grief types, including traumatic, ambiguous, delayed, disenfranchised, and cumulative grief. Participants will review grief models like the Dual Process Model, Worden’s TEAR Tasks, and the Companioning Model; gain exposure to validated assessment tools such as the Core Bereavement Items and Inventory of Complicated Grief; and learn culturally responsive interventions that clinicians can apply immediately.

Learning Objectives:

• List and explain different types of grief and their symptoms.
• Explain how the different types of grief can impact the progression of treatment.
• Recall 2-3 grief models to conceptualize grief and the clinician’s role
• Assess which grief model will be most impactful for their client
• Illustrate how grief can have an impact across the lifespan
• Recall 3-4 interventions for grief to better care for clients

2. Grief Support Group Facilitator

Grief doesn’t just show up in the therapy room—it sits quietly in the workplace, the classroom, the grocery store, and behind the eyes of so many clients who don’t know how to speak it. Clinicians are often the first and only people who create a space where grief can be named, held, and shared. But leading that space—especially in a group setting—requires more than empathy. It demands skill, structure, and presence.

Whether you’re launching your first grief group or refining your existing facilitation skills, this course offers a powerful, practical guide to structuring sessions that truly support clients in their healing journey.

Participants will learn how to distinguish between grief support, psychoeducational, and therapy groups; manage the emotional and logistical challenges of facilitation; and implement meaningful, developmentally-tailored activities for clients of all ages. Special attention is given to vulnerable populations, including children and older adults, as well as strategies for online facilitation.

Learning Objectives:

• List and explain different structures of grief groups
• Explain key logistical concerns to address before facilitating a grief group
• Recall 2-3 grief group activities for adults, teens, and children

3. Tools to Help Clients Navigate Holiday Grief

For grieving clients, the holiday season can feel like emotional whiplash—where celebration collides with sorrow, and family gatherings become painful reminders of who's missing. Clinicians are often the only ones holding space for this grief, yet many lack clear strategies to help clients manage the tidal wave of emotions that hit during this time of year.

This course offers clinicians an evidence-informed and deeply compassionate framework for helping clients navigate holiday grief in all its complex forms. Learn how to be the steady guide your clients need through one of the most emotionally triggering seasons of the year.

This course explores the nature of acute, integrated, and chronic grief during the holidays; the grief triggers unique to this time of year; and how disenfranchised and masked grief can show up in clinical sessions. You’ll learn how to apply Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s companioning model, how to coach clients in setting and enforcing healthy boundaries with family, and how to help them identify, communicate, and meet emotional needs in real time. Tools such as grounding techniques, directed journaling, and creating grief-informed game plans are also covered.

Learning Objectives:

• List and explain signs and triggers of Holiday Grief.
• Recall 2-3 techniques to help clients create boundaries and a healthy support system during the Holidays.
• Recall 3-4 effective interventions to help clients navigate their Holiday Grief.

4. Disenfranchised Grief: Acknowledging the Immigrant Experience and Grief in Diverse Cultures

Grief doesn’t always look the way we expect—and for many immigrants and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, it’s not even recognized. This course reveals how grief can go unseen, unacknowledged, and unsupported, leading to profound psychological consequences.

Explore the invisible burdens your clients may carry—and gain the knowledge and skills to support them in ways that affirm their identity, culture, and loss experiences.

In this self-paced course, Ms. Dilworth combines storytelling, research, and clinical insight to guide participants through the complex territory of disenfranchised grief. The course is designed to deepen cultural sensitivity and enhance your clinical skillset, no matter your client population.

Topics covered include disenfranchised grief and its categories, the concept of migratory grief, immigrant mental health, acculturation stress, ethnic discrimination, and unique grief experiences across cultural groups such as Black South African, Korean, and Latino communities. The course also covers culturally responsive interventions, clinical assessments, and evidence-based practices to validate and support clients’ experiences of grief.

Learning Objectives:

• List 2-3 categories of Disenfranchised Grief in order to increase empathetic support to grieving clients.
• Discuss 1-2 experiences diverse cultures have that can lead to experiencing Disenfranchised Grief.
• Assess Migratory Grief and list 2-3 ways immigrants can experience it.
• Identify 1-2 ways to support clients who come from diverse cultures and Immigrants to support Disenfranchised Grief.

5. Supporting Clients who are Grieving due to Racism and Discrimination

Racism and discrimination don’t just wound the psyche—they steal safety, belonging, and opportunity, leaving behind a trail of unspoken grief. Behavioral health professionals must be equipped to recognize, validate, and treat this unique form of loss.

You’ll gain the tools and insight to support clients processing grief related to racial injustice—losses that are too often dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood. This training invites clinicians to strengthen cultural awareness, deepen therapeutic connection, and create space for healing.

Course topics include the intersection of racial trauma and grief, how disenfranchised grief impacts mental health outcomes, culturally responsive therapeutic models, implicit bias awareness, narrative therapy, the ATTEND model, complicated grief therapy, and strategies for creating safe spaces for healing. Participants will also explore cultural and spiritual influences on mourning, somatic and cognitive coping tools, and interventions for prolonged or complicated grief.

Learning Objectives:

• Assess personal biases and assumptions related to culture, religion, and race that can impact the therapeutic relationship.
• Explain how racism and discrimination can lead to grief in minority groups.
• Recall 3 to 4 grief models and techniques to create a safe space for clients to express grief.
