Introductory price for 2023 only.
Are you looking to offer comfort and support to someone going through a difficult time in life, but find yourself unsure of what to say or how to be there for them? We all encounter changes, losses, and grief in our lives, and knowing the right words and actions can make a world of difference when providing support rooted in the Hope of Christ to those around you.
This skill set is tailored for individuals who wish to stand alongside members of their community or church, supporting them through their grief journey.
Skill sets are packaged units, or modules, designed to give you a working understanding and skills in a particular topic area. Skill sets benefit you by giving you the skills to support those within your circle.
Self-paced over four weeks and fully online, eliminating the need for live training sessions. Skill sets are gaining recognition as a valuable form of modern training, offering various benefits such as skill enhancement, meeting industry demands, and serving as a gateway to further education.
