Components of a grief-responsive workplace program.
What a full program can include
Needs assessment
Listening sessions, policy review, stakeholder input, and a clear picture of where grief is showing up.
Program design
A practical model for staff, managers, peer helpers, teams, and leadership that fits the organization.
Training and capacity building
Education for managers, HR, peer supporters, facilitators, and staff who need shared language and skills.
Support pathways
Clear routes to groups, one-on-one support, consultation, external resources, and crisis boundaries.
Implementation and sustainment
Launch planning, feedback loops, evaluation, refreshers, and ongoing adaptation.
PSCP can work with any part of the organization, for example:
Workplaces
Bereavement response, return-to-work support, manager preparation, and staff care.
Human services
Support for teams exposed to client loss, community grief, and cumulative emotional strain.
Community programs
Peer grief support models that can be adapted for local communities and service settings.
