Learn better ways to support grieving people, through programs we offer for schools, businesses and community groups.
Let’s face it: Other people’s grief can make us uncomfortable. So when we encounter grieving people in professional settings like work, school or community groups, it’s hard to know the best ways to be appropriately supportive and helpful.
Let Agrace help you build these skills. We offer grief education programs to prepare you for those times when you need to express sympathy, be supportive of a colleague or client, or process a death that affects many people at a workplace, school or community organization. Our grief support specialists can come to your location and offer guidance for your specific need.
Many of the programs described below can be offered in Spanish, too.
The fees we charge help us offset the costs of these programs and other grief-support activities offered by the Agrace Grief Support Center. Fees for some school-based programs may be lowered or waived; please contact us to discuss your needs.
Have you ever struggled with knowing how to express sympathy to people you know through work or community groups? What feels right with your friends and family may be too personal when the grieving person is a colleague or a client. But how can you know what’s both comforting and appropriate?
Agrace offers two opportunities for your business or community group to learn about and cope with grief:
This service helps people who have experienced a death (such as the death of a mutual colleague) talk through what they’re feeling. It must be scheduled in advance; it’s not an emergency or crisis-response activity.
If the program is held more than 30 miles from the Agrace Grief Support Center, add $1.50 per mile (roundtrip) to the fee. For example, a presentation given 60 miles from the Center will cost an extra $90 (1.5 x 60 extra miles).

History, science, art, technology … teachers and school staff know the best ways to present many different subjects, but that seldom includes grief and grieving.
That’s why
Agrace’s grief specialists offer presentations and direct support just for schools. Whether you want to prepare your staff to be supportive of grieving students or have Agrace lead support groups at school, we offer choices to fit several common needs.
Please note:

School-age students can be deeply affected by the death of a family member or friend. Agrace can meet with them individually, up to four times, to provide specialized emotional support—in English or Spanish.
Email griefsupport@agrace.org or call (608) 327-7110 for more information or to request any of the services described above.
