Grief Support in the Workplace

This seminar assists employees who have experienced the loss of a co-worker. These seminars are offered as a forum to grieve and share feelings, as well as to provide educational information.

This seminar is developed as a lunchtime forum to provide education on grief and loss that helps build a grief-sensitive culture.  This series format is developed with the organization’s staff or Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to identify the number of weeks, shifts, and frequency of the presentations.

Question a person about suicide / Persuade the person to get help / , Refer the person to get help.  

This training is designed to teach staff the warning signs of suicide in an individual or impending crisis. It is an internationally recognized program developed for laypersons and an invaluable tool, especially for management staff.  We are Certified Gatekeeper Instructors for QPR Training and can provide training for your organization.

COJ will develop programs specifically for your business needs. Examples of previous programs include: Holiday Grief, Understanding Your Child and Teen’s Grief, Grief at Different Ages and Stages, Families in Grief, The Layers of Grief, Hope, Strength and Healing through Grief Retreat, and Long Distance Grief.

COJ can develop a monthly support group for staff who are in need of ongoing support services related to grief.  We will partner with your organization to determine the timing and the frequency for support.  We will personalize the program to meet the needs of your employees and your organization.
