Next on-site training
The current situation of Pandemic for Covid19 and the necessary movement restriction and assembly actions force us to postpone the trainings scheduled for June in Barcelona and Madrid.
Convinced of the need to have professionals trained in models and techniques to improve grief care and now more than ever in the current context in which many families have failed to say goodbye to their loved ones and in which so many have dead alone.
We will try to make this Portland Institute (Dr. Robert A. Neimeyer) training available again in Barcelona and Madrid, as soon as the situation becomes possible.
