Grief Support Workers
Grief is complex, personal, and deeply emotional, and those who support the bereaved—whether in churches, funeral homes, or community organisations—carry a tremendous emotional weight. Helping others through grief is meaningful but can also be overwhelming.
At The Never Alone Project, we provide specialist training and supervision for grief workers, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and emotional support they need to continue their vital work.
Who Is This For?
- Church leaders, funeral directors, therapists and pastoral workers supporting grieving individuals
- Anyone running (or wanting to run) community grief groups
- Professionals who frequently work with bereaved families and want additional training and guidance
- Those who want emotional support themselves, to help process the heaviness of grief work
