Self-Care > Bereavement Conferences
By Katie D. Smith
KotaPress Co-Editor
The following is a list in order by date with links for further information on various bereavement conferences throughout the United States and around the world. We are trying to keep them updated throughout each year.
These conferences are a great resource and support network for bereaved individuals, families, the professionals that care for them and students that are majoring in the medical, nursing, human services, psychology and social work fields. Continuing education certificates are available at most of these conferences for professionals. If you have information on a bereavement conference, that you have participated in, please contact me at katie@kotapress.com.
