Grief M.E.N.T.O.R. Method Institute

Techniques that transform

Grief is a universal human experience, yet very few of us (even clinicians) ever receive formal education on the best practices to support grievers. In a culture that leans primarily on stage theory originally intended for the dying, not the grieving, we have left grievers without the informed support they deserve.

This training institute introduces attendees to The Grief M.E.N.T.O.R. Method Institute, created by Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LICSW, a trauma therapist specializing in grief and loss, whose twenty years in the field informed the creation of this six-component model designed to help every griever create their own personalized, grief-informed process to move through loss.
