Use as an ongoing resource

Access the program “live” or when it best suits your audience. HFA’s programs and continuing education credits are available for an entire year, giving you flexibility when scheduling the program(s). Most sites take advantage of the unlimited training option and show the program multiple times throughout the year.

Make additional, valuable resources available

Supplement the program with insight and knowledge provided in HFA’s companion books. HFA’s books are written by bereavement experts, and the books serve as an expanded resource for your participants. Registered program organizers receive a discount!

For our internet courses, we provide test links before you register--if you can see and hear the test, then you’ll have no problem hosting the event! No internet in your area? No worries. Most of HFA’s Living with Grief® programs are also available on DVD.
