Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations (AFMAO) and the 436th Airlift Wing cordially invite you and members of your organization to a special two-day workshop, "Companioning the Mourner in Traumatic Grief," led by the world-renowned grief educator, Dr. Alan Wolfelt.

This unique professional development opportunity will be held from May 4-5, 2026, from 0900 to 1600 at The Landings Club on Dover Air Force Base.

The workshop is centered on the "Companioning Model" of grief care, the established standard for how AFMAO supports the families of America's fallen. As the Air Force pivots to readiness for Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), the ability of our leaders and caregivers to effectively support those who have experienced loss is a critical component of force resilience. This training event represents a direct investment in our mission preparedness by equipping our key stakeholders with invaluable skills for supporting individuals through crisis and loss.

Workshop Agenda:

This workshop is divided into four distinct teaching blocks. We invite you to register for any or all sessions that best fit your schedule and interests.

Day 1: Monday, May 4, 2026

Morning Session (0900-1200): The Companioning Model of Care

Afternoon Session (1300-1600): Companioning Those in Early/Acute Grief

Day 2: Tuesday, May 5, 2026

Morning Session (0900-1200): Understanding and Companioning Grief After a Suicide Loss

Afternoon Session (1300-1600): Reframing PTSD as Traumatic Grief

This event is open to all but will be especially relevant to Commanders, Chiefs, First Sergeants, Medical Group and Mental Health professionals, Military & Family Life Counselors (MFLCs), and anyone who considers themselves a caregiver.

About the Presenter:

Dr. Alan Wolfelt has been recognized as one of North America’s leading death educators and grief counselors. His books have sold more than a million copies worldwide and have been translated into many languages. Dr. Wolfelt is a past recipient of the Association for Death Education & Counseling’s Death Educator Award. He is the founder and director of the Center for Loss and Life Transition (www.centerforloss.com) and a TAPS Advisory Board Member.

Please RSVP by using the link below or scanning the QR code on the attached flyer. We believe you will find these training opportunities incredibly meaningful and practical in both your personal and professional lives.
