Community Education
Mourning Hope provides education, assistance, training and networking to the community. Staff and trained volunteers give presentations to community groups such as schools, businesses, churches, associations and healthcare entities.
Outreach to schools includes working with teachers and administrators when there is a death or life-threatening illness in the school. Mourning Hope collaborates with crisis intervention teams to support students and faculty. For information on our school-based grief support groups, contact Amy Lipins at alipins@mourninghope.org.
Following is a list of commonly requested topics for trainings. Often, topics are combined based on the needs of the organization.
Children and Grief - What children experience after a death and what the caregivers in their lives can do to help.
Teens and Grief - What teens experience after a death and what the caregivers in their lives can do to help.
Group Facilitation Skills - Learn and develop the skills you'll need to facilitate support groups for children, teens, and adults.
Grief in the Workplace - Learn how to help grieving co-workers in the workplace.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION EVENT
Every Story Matters: Honoring Identity, Culture, and Lived Experience in Grief Support
Join us for a full day dedicated to helping grieving children and families feel seen, supported, and understood. Whether you work in healthcare, mental health support, a school setting, or simply care about supporting kids through grief, this event is for you.
Across three sessions, you will explore how who we are and the identities we carry influence how we grieve and how we support others experiencing grief. A special community panel with leaders from local cultural organizations will bring these topics home to Lincoln. You'll leave with practical tools, new insights, and skills for providing compassionate, inclusive care.
Come ready to learn, connect, and grow alongside others, because every story matters and no one has to grieve alone.
Generous philanthropic support for this event is provided by the New York Life Foundation and the Lincoln Community Foundation. Additional support provided by Bryan Health and the April Sampson Cancer Center.
