The BC Centre for Palliative Care is inviting hospice staff and volunteers across British Columbia to participate in a research study evaluating a free online education module designed to improve grief and bereavement knowledge for those who serve people experiencing homelessness.

The study, Fostering Grief and Bereavement Literacy in the Workplace for Those Who Serve People Experiencing Homelessness, aims to test the effectiveness of a virtual educational module in building the capacity of hospice workers and volunteers to provide grief support to people experiencing homelessness.

Participants are eligible if they:

• Are 19 years of age or older

• Live in British Columbia

• Can understand English

• Work or volunteer with people who are grieving at a BC hospice

Participants will be asked to complete the online educational module (approximately 2.5 hours) and a post-module survey (approximately 10–15 minutes). The survey will explore participants' knowledge, skills, and confidence related to grief support and provide an opportunity to offer feedback on the module's content and design. No honorarium is provided for participation.

The study is open until August 31, 2026. Hospices are encouraged to share this opportunity with staff and volunteers who support individuals experiencing grief and bereavement.

For more information or to participate, please contact Joshua Black, PhD, Bereavement Initiative Manager at the BC Centre for Palliative Care, at jblack@bc-cpc.ca.
