With 80% of grieving employees saying they don’t receive meaningful support and 30% feeling their grief isn’t acknowledged, workplaces often misinterpret grief related behaviours as performance issues—creating unnecessary risk and harm.
By becoming a Grief First Aider, you play a vital role in breaking the silence around grief. You help create safe and supportive pathways for colleagues, friends, and community members, while fostering environments that normalise conversations about grief, reduce stigma, and provide meaningful support.
- Accreditation is awarded by GFA upon completing the training and short assessment.
- Accredited Grief First Aider status is valid for three years, ensuring knowledge remains current.
