The GriefShare Boot Camp kit is a flexible DVD-based training program that can be used in a variety of formats:

  • Self study

Even better, you can use the Boot Camp training kit again and again to equip new leaders who join your team in the future, and for “refresher” sessions for veteran leaders.
