Overview Intervention Preparation

Our Project and Training

Our project provides professional training on ADAPTS and DPM Bereavement Intervention. We also offer supervisions for helping professional after joining the courses. It is our mission to enhance the overall competence of helping professionals in providing bereavement counselling for the bereaved people.

Effective interventions and supports are crucial for helping individuals cope with the loss of a loved one. Utilizing the right tools and frameworks can help professionals provide supports at the right level. However, most current knowledge on bereavement and grief has been generated from Western cultures, including assessment tools. Our team is dedicated to developing comprehensive risk screening and outcome assessment tools, as well as offering workshops for bereavement screening.

Stay tuned for our upcoming releases and training programs, and join us in our mission to provide targeted and effective support for individuals and families experiencing grief and bereavement.
