The Skills of Grief Counseling

About the Skills of Grief Counseling Workshop

This six-week online course presents a unique synthesis of multiple disciplines, which Michael Leizerman has developed to achieve record results in his personal injury cases. Michael hosts Jay Rinsen Weik, American Zen Master and 6th Degree Black Belt, who will introduce and guide attendees in counseling methods grounded in Buddhist practice; and Joshua Karton, the trial consultant who hones your ability to lead your jury inside the felt reality of surviving in the wake of harrowing loss. This course unites these three instructors’ experience and techniques for empowering jurors to champion your client’s case. Register here via Eventbrite.
