Bereavement training applications due soon

BRATTLEBORO - Brattleboro Area Hospice will hold an eight week training for bereavement volunteers on Wednesdays from 1 to 4 pm, March 23 to May 11, on Zoom. This is a chance to be trained and work as a bereavement volunteer for one of the most helpful and exciting organizations in the area. Bereavement volunteers provide emotional support and companionship to individuals grieving the death loss of a loved one.
Applications for the training are being accepted until Thursday, March 10. Those interested can fill out an online application available at brattleborohospice.org/how-you-can-help/volunteering or contact the office. No experience is needed and space is limited. Cost for the training is $40 for materials. Following the eight-week training, volunteers are expected to commit to one hour per week spent with a bereaved individual.
