CALVARY HOSPITAL ANNUAL BEREAVEMENT COURSE
TO BE OFFERED MARCH THROUGH MAY 2020

BRONX, NY – Beginning in March, Calvary Hospital’s 27th Annual Bereavement Course will be offered to healthcare-related professionals who want to further their education on bereavement and grief-related issues. This course will begin on March 3rd (in Manhattan at the Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center, on Tuesday nights from 6pm-8:30pm) and on March 4th (in Brooklyn, at the St. Joseph High School, on Wednesday nights from 6pm-8:30pm).

This course is designed for those in the helping professions, and not for bereaved family members. This eleven-week course on bereavement and grief-related issues will be taught by various specialists from Calvary Hospital/Hospice. Calvary Hospital provides the most comprehensive bereavement support program and offers more than 25 bereavement groups across all three sites for grieving individuals. Calvary provides free bereavement support groups for adults, children, and teens, and referrals for additional support if necessary.  Upon successful completion, each participant will receive a Certificate of Attendance. Successful completion requires that participants (1) register for the course, and (2) complete course evaluations for each attended lecture. Contact hours will only be awarded for completed programs. Partial credit for Certificate of Attendance is available for those who attend 80% of the lectures.
