The Grief Educator Certification is a comprehensive, self-paced training led by Grief Educator, Author, and Coach, Toni Filipone. Designed to help you support others through loss with clarity and compassion—while deepening your own healing and understanding.
There's a Reason you are Here ...
You understand what it means to grieve. Whether it's through your own experience or what you’ve witnessed in others—grief and trauma have a way of shaking everything we thought we knew, clouding our sense of direction, and leaving lasting marks.
You also know that there’s no quick fix. No “moving on.” But somewhere along the way, you’ve seen the strength that can emerge from heartbreak. You’ve witnessed how, over time and with the right support, we begin to carry our pain differently—and moments of peace and meaning start to return.
Maybe you once wished someone could have walked beside you through your hardest season. Or maybe you’ve felt a quiet pull to be that person for someone else. You might be here because you're ready to gain deeper tools to support clients, friends, or your own healing journey.
Whatever brought you here—know this: your presence matters. And together, we can help others find their way forward. Even in the darkest moments, we can be a steady light.
Learn how to apply powerful, practical tools that help others tap into their inner strength and navigate even the most life-altering losses with resilience and clarity.
Discover impactful methods for supportive listening and forward-focused practices that help create a clear, empowering path toward healing.
What you’ve lived through matters. Your story holds power—and with it, you can support others in finding hope, meaning, and healing after deep loss.
This is more than just a course—it’s a full training experience designed to equip you with the skills, insight, and confidence to support others through all types of grief.
The Grief Educator Certification is 100% virtual and completely self-paced. That means you can move through the content on your own schedule, whether you're balancing work, caregiving, or simply need space to process as you learn. Everything is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Here’s what you’ll get inside the program:

Loss is often traumatic, confusing, and overwhelming. As a counselor or therapist, you may open the door to find a patient blindsided by an unexpected loss, only to realize that the intensity of their grief exceeds what your training prepared you for.
There’s a significant gap in today’s professional education when it comes to grief.
Grievers often find themselves trapped in cycles of rumination, guilt, and "what-ifs," and as helping professionals, we want to be able to offer support that goes beyond just listening. We want to help guide them out of that agonizing grip of grief, but week after week, session after session, we watch their pain persist.
As a Certified Grief Educator, you will be equipped with the knowledge, techniques, and words to inspire hope and healing. You’ll understand the 6 needs of the grieving and have the confidence to use a compassionate yet effective approach to turn their struggle into hope.
As an incredible bonus for enrolling in this course, you'll gain exclusive access to the full online program—this is a game-changer that allows you to master the material at your own pace and truly deepen your expertise in grief education.
