Do you know what it’s like to grieve the loss of a loved one and want to help provide support to others?

GrieveWell is in search of kind individuals who have traveled their own grief journeys and are prepared to support others through the grief process. We serve the whole state of Michigan.

Even though grief is a natural part of life, it can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming. After the funeral, friends and family return back to their lives often leaving grievers feeling unsupported and alone. This is where Peer Counselors come in.

1:1 peer support has been shown to improve an individual’s quality of life and overall health. This powerful tool empowers grievers to work towards goals and live a healthy, full life after a loss. The bereaved feel supported and connected without feeling isolated or judged. If you have traveled your own grief journey and feel ready to help others through their loss, please consider joining GrieveWell as a Peer Counselor. All types of loss are welcome. You will be trained to provide compassionate listening and supported by a licensed therapist. Our Peer Counselors are required to take our 12 hour training program. We are planning to do a training via Zoom and Google Classroom or in person if schedules permit. The training costs $25 and includes a background check upon completion - required of all peer counseling volunteers.
