Training & Education

AHGSS is delighted to offer professional and practical services to the community, providing specialized

grief support training tailored for businesses, nonprofits, and organizations of all sizes. 

We understand that grief can be an overwhelming and challenging experience, not only for individuals but also for the teams and communities they belong to. Our community training is designed to equip businesses, nonprofits, and organizations with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of grief and loss in their respective environments.

We offer a diverse range of training and educational workshops designed to support both businesses and non-profit organizations. Whether you're looking for a one-day session or a full week of immersive learning, our programs are customized to meet the specific needs of your team and community. Because each workshop is tailored, pricing varies depending on the scope, duration, and content.

​

Our offerings include:

​

  • Custom Workshops:
    Tailored sessions ranging from one day to a full week in length, designed to address the unique challenges and goals of your organization.

  • Flexible Formats:
    In-person, virtual, or hybrid delivery options to suit your team’s availability and preferences.

  • Community-Focused Content for Caregivers:
    We are proud to implement a new Care for the Caregivers Training Program in the community focusing on providing educational support and training sessions to caregivers, particularly seniors in our community.
