BUFFALO,NY—
Certified
Aftercare Provider train-
ing will be offered April

in Buf-
falo. A Certified Aftercare

relationship with families
following their loved one’s

ty outreach opportunities.
Aftercare programs allow

of a difference in the lives
of the families they serve.
The two-day training
will enable attendees to:
understand the unique
journey of grief; discov-
er the Power of Presence;
know how to put togeth-
er a meaningful commu-
nity memorial service;
find ways to keep from
burning out and melting
down; appreciate why af-
tercare makes good busi-
ness sense; and have a
concrete Plan of Action to
start a program immedi-
ately.
