Pathways Overview

Choose the pathway that aligns with your calling...

At the Centre for Specialized Palliative Education, we offer two professional training streams designed for people who want to support others through illness, aging, dying, and grief with compassion and steadiness.

Palliative Care Practitioner Pathway 

For those called to companion individuals and families through illness, decline, and end-of-life experiences in a non-medical, relational, community-based role.

Grief Literacy & Educator Pathway 

For those seeking deeper grief literacy, personal integration, or the skills to teach grief education in non-clinical settings.  

Your Weekly Rhythm

To make planning easy, all CSPE programs meet at the same time each week:

Tracks (Grief Education): Wednesday at 7pm MST Replays Available

Tiers (Palliative Foundations & Advanced Training): Tuesdays 10 am OR 7 pm MST

  • Track 1 and Tier 1 are each 6 weeks, followed by Track 2 and Tier 2 for 6 weeks. 
  • Tier 2 will be followed by a practicum.
