Learning Opportunities for
Students & Professionals

Heartlight recognizes that there aren’t enough programs providing formal grief education, and access to professional education and training can be costly. Part of our mission is to bring meaningful, accessible grief support and education to professionals, students, and our community.

Browse through our website and the opportunities below. If you need additional information, please contact us.


Educational Signature Series

Presentations led by experts on various grief and loss topics. Intended for grief professionals, volunteer caregivers, and anyone who has experienced a loss.

Learn Through Participation

Connect with the Grief Networking Alliance

GNA is a true networking group, started by grief care professionals in the greater Denver Metro area. The goal of GNA is to create a collaborative platform for professionals to connect, build trusting relationships, share expertise, and collectively provide essential support to one another and the broader community, ultimately fostering a more compassionate and comprehensive approach to grief and end-of-life care.
