Where a bereavement counsellor can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a bereavement counsellor already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Bereavement counsellors support and guide patients and their families to better cope with the death of the loved ones by assisting them in emergent situations, at the hospices and at the memorial services. They train other professionals and communities anticipating the supportive needs of bereavement and responding to the education requirements.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a bereavement counsellor already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
