Here’s some opportunities we found for 8 hours of CE credit

 

 

It’s a brand new year, but before you know it you will be looking to fill some Continuing Education credits for next year.  As we go into the weekend here is a couple of opportunities that we found that not only give you eight CE credits but give you the opportunity to advance your career by learning some valuable lessons.

The Institute for Exceptional Funeral Service offers “Guiding families toward meaning and healing”

This class is instructed by Becky Lomaka who is Director of Grief Support and Education at O’Connor Mortuary. She has a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and a certification in Thanatology.

Here’s what the Institute for Exceptional Funeral Service says about this flexible, self-paced class that begins February 6:

How can you help? Our passion is not in “what” we are doing, it’s in “why” we are doing it. It can be difficult to know what to say when a family calls or walks through your doors. You may be afraid of intruding, saying the wrong thing, or making the person feel even worse. But your comfort and support can make all the difference. While we, as funeral professionals, cannot take away the intense pain of a family’s loss, we can show them how much we care about them and how we can help them as they begin their grief journey. Examine the various ways you can build connections with families, earn their trust, and create value in the services you provide.”

After the completion of this course, you will:

  • Be more comfortable and confident with families
  • Know how to guide families to what is meaningful and healing for them
  • Be more effective throughout the grieving process
  • Support families from the first phone call to after the services are complete
