Become an MCCG™ Trained Grief Guide

It takes a special kind of courage to continue bearing witness to suffering and belief that there may be hope for healing.

Finding practical ways to care for yourself to keep going

through the utmost difficulties of others you are asked to support,

and to offer new insights that will help them move through their grief

is what this program is about.

It is a blending of holding a safe and experienced space for the two most important people in the grief support that you provide: the griever, and the grief guide.
