Compiled Katie & Kara, KotaPress Co-Editors
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. So if you have information on a bereavement conference you attend or host, please be in touch with us!
These conferences are a great resource and support network for bereaved individuals, families, the professionals that care for them and students majoring in the medical, nursing, human services, psychology and social work fields. Continuing education certificates are available at most of these conferences for professionals.
