All Things Grief! Professional Development Conference

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Brighter Days Family Grief Center is honored to host our third annual professional development conference, created for the dedicated professionals who walk alongside grievers of every age. This one day experience brings together leading voices in caregiving, death, and dying for immersive workshops, inspiring speakers, and meaningful connection with peers who understand both the weight and the privilege of this work. We are especially pleased to introduce a new educator track designed to strengthen grief awareness and support within schools, ensuring that faculty and staff feel equipped to care for grieving students and for one another. Our community continues to feel the weight of collective grief. Recent tragedies, both close to home and across the world, have shaped our daily sense of peace, safety, and connection. For many grievers, these shared experiences intensify the personal pain of death related loss and complicate the grief journeys already underway. This year’s conference explores how personal loss and community wide trauma intersect, and how professionals can recognize, validate, and support those carrying both, including themselves. Together, we will reflect on pathways toward meaning, resilience, and connection in a community marked by shared loss. Six (6) CEUs will be offered through a series of large and small group presentations with a virtual track available to paid registrants offering up to ten (10) additional CEUs.
