Grief Therapists

Your school's career services office may be able to supply information on a career as a grief therapist. Other sources for information can be found at your local or school library, or through the Internet.

Doing volunteer work for organizations such as the Red Cross or with your local hospital, nursing home, or hospice care center will give you more experience dealing with the sick, troubled, or grieving. Participating in high school clubs or other groups that organize volunteer projects to benefit homeless people, victims of AIDS, or battered spouses can also give you valuable experience.
