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 chosen by the requesting group.

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.
