Our Certified alumni receive:

If you took the course 2026 or later:
We will work with you during your course year to have you demonstrating your skills, doing question generation using foundational frameworks like curiosity, meaning making, remembering converstions, as well as creating your own Creative Grief Tool. You’ll practice and do skills demonstration with your coaching buddies during course time, and our team members will observe and assess in real time. Our aim is to have you both complete the course material AND be assessed for certification consideration by the end of your year with us.
If you took the course 2025 or prior:
To get Certification, following your completion of the course, you will submit a small portfolio demonstrating your skills. Your tuition fee for the course must be paid in full before we will assess your certification materials, and there are no requirements to renew your certification annually. The Creative Grief Studio’s course materials you were provided with during your session gave you full details about how to apply. There is no deadline for assessment submissions for those who attended 2025 or earlier.
NOTE: Certification as a Creative Grief Support Practitioner confirms that you’ve taken our training and demonstrated skills in the approach we teach at an acceptable level. Our certification does not enable you to call yourself or your service by any of the registered or licensed professional titles, including (but not limited to) “Art Therapy/ Therapist”, “Social Work/er”, “Psychologist”, “Counselor”, “Therapist”. If you certify with us and do NOT have any additional professional training or licensing, then you may call yourself a “Creative Grief Support Practitioner” and your service “Creative Grief Support”.
I loved having the practical insights into tools, and conversation and presence building. I also appreciated the extra resources and tools that are shared. These are things we can refer back to and use forever more – even if they don’t all sink in or get read the first time around.
My work with women and children survivors of domestic violence was enhanced by the Creative Grief Studio course work. I was able to apply so many practices and learnings when working with the loss and grief experienced by residents at Harbour House.
