This November, in honor of Children's Grief Awareness Month, the MHTTC Network hosted a two-day, no-cost, training experience for the mental health and school mental health workforce. We worked with leading grief experts across the country to strengthen grief sensitivity skills, techniques, and interventions.

Please note: This was a 2-day event. Session programming for both days ran from 9:00 am-3:00 pm PT * 10:00 am-4:00 pm MT * 11:00 am-5:00 pm CT * 12:00-6:00 pm ET. Certificates of completion were offered for this event, but will not be administered after February 1, 2024.
The Institutes are for Community Mental Health Practitioners, Social Workers, Psychologists, Therapists, School Mental Health Personnel, School Counselors, Educators, School Administrators, and anyone interested in enhancing their grief sensitivity.
You can view recordings from either day and any session no matter your role to support your interests and learning. The populations you serve may be discussed across each Institute day, settings, and sessions.
Both days of the GSVLI were rich with faculty who offer grounding and foundations for grief sensitivity for the mental health or school mental health workforces and its intersection with violence. Faculty shared where we have been as a field, where we are now, and where we are going (new research, findings, and learnings to impact our practice).
Each day began with a grounding keynote, offered two panels to deepen our learning, and a workshop session.
