Speakers
Institute
What is a Speakers Institute? The Speakers Institute is a group of people who educate professionals
and the community-at-large about a variety of death, dying and
grief topics.
What areas of education are included? Areas of expertise include how to support dying children, teens
and their families; children and teens who are grieving a life
threatening illness of a significant person; bereaved children,
teens and their families; caregivers of terminally ill children
and teens; how to plan, implement & evaluate support work
for grieving kids; & available resources to provide support
work for grieving kids. Education may come in the form of lecture,
exercises and/or “hands on” experiences relating to the grieving
process: what is normal grief; how to explain death, dying and
bereavement to kids; what tools can be utilized for grieving
kids; what tools work best for specific age groups; what are
“red flags” to watch for; should children attend funerals and
if so, what should be their involvement; what services are available
in the community; & how can family, friends, teachers, & the
faith community help bereaved families.
Where are the education seminars/workshops held? If Annie’s Hope is sponsoring the seminar or workshop, it will
be held at a location of Annie’s Hope choosing, most often at
the office location. Otherwise, it will be scheduled at a site

What is the cost of hosting or attending a seminar or workshop? The expenses related to providing a seminar or workshop depends
on the topic chosen, the length of the seminar/workshop, the
location of the seminar/workshop & the size of the audience.
