Grief is a very difficult topic but it was made manageable by the team delivering the training.

The use of break-out rooms is an invaluable opportunity to network with colleagues from a variety of models and from all over the world." - Florence N.

Diana Gubiseh-Ayala

These 6 sessions have been the most comprehensive and thorough assortment of all phases important to effective counseling for bereavement that I have ever attended. The sessions were in-depth studies, and there were case histories shared, and instruments provided for assessment and evaluation for counselors. I would highly recommend Dr John Wilson, PhD for future trainings on same or related subject matter. He is awesome!

Geri Stein

The whole six weeks of this training has expanded my knowledge of grief, to the point that I wish to explore further in this area of counselling work. Dr John Wilson is a delight; personable, present and consise in his explanations. I'm so pleased I committed to this training. Thank you.

Ruth Noble

I attended all six weeks of this course and have found it to be excellent. It was well planned - each weeks session has built on the foundations provided by the previous sessions. John has a lovely down to earth style, with an anecdote for each topic or question that arises belying his wealth of knowledge and experience which he so generously shares.

Maggie King

I highly recommend this training, Dr. Wilson has an excellent way of capturing his audiences attention and his knowledge and experience is very much evident. This certainly is not text book training.

Holly Jones

I'm so happy that I spent the last six weeks rising at 3am for a 4am course as it has given me a much better foundation and more clinical description of the grief process. I'm a grief educator and end of life doula but I want grief to be my center.

Sarah Haggerty
