Education is central to our mission at Brighter Days. We believe a compassionate society begins with a shared understanding of grief: what it is, what it is not, how it affects people across different ages, and how schools and organizations can respond with clarity and care when a death occurs.
Earlier this year, our team trained leadership teams across several organizations, including Hennepin County employees, and this week we are honored to be on‑site training the University of Minnesota Twin Cities social work department. As we move into the 2026–2027 academic year, our Growing Through Grief school districts will participate in a district wide training to ensure grieving students and staff return to environments that are more grief‑aware and better prepared to support them.
Our annual All Things Grief! Professional Development Conference is another powerful expression of this work, bringing together hundreds of professionals, including educators, from across Minnesota for a full day of learning and connection, with practical tools for supporting grieving children, families, and communities. Registration is now open, and we would love for you to join us. 💙
If you are ready to take the next step toward building a more compassionate, grief‑informed community, we would be honored to partner with you. Message us to connect.
