Research & Development

 

By collaborating with those who have suffered and been transformed by their grief, and in partnership with front-line practitioners and academic researchers, Grief Reconciliation International™ has developed ways to make available, to a larger public, information and best practices on the topic of reconciliation.

Collaborations

Evaluation is integrated into our training.  Participants are invited to complete pre- and post-questionnaires, and together with an analysis of discussion themes, the results of the training are documented in a confidential summary report.  The report is presented back to the sponsoring organization to share with training participants and to use as an organizational planning tool.

Academic Research

Dr. Jan Hatanaka is the founder of the Grief Reconciliation™ Initiative, Faculty of Health, York University.  The goal of this initiative is to lead, conduct and support research designed to:
