Grief Coach U Announces the Most Advanced Christian Grief Coach Training Available Today
Grief Coach University, located at griefcoachu.com, was launched as the exclusive training resource for the highly sought-after Christian Grief Coach and Joy Restoration Coach certification programs once available through PCCCA (pccca.org/joy). These specialized programs have grown in popularity so much that they now have their own space at GriefCoachU.com, allowing us to better serve a growing community of students and grief support professionals.
Grief Coach University offers a one-of-a-kind curriculum that merges biblical principles with cutting-edge science. It incorporates a full-spectrum training approach of brain science, trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), natural pathways to activate happiness hormones, and a framework of emotional healing through faith at the highest level.
The GCU grief coaching certification was selected "Best Christian Grief Coach Certification" by Life Coach Magazine for 2023, 2024, and 2025, further validating the quality and efficacy of our training.
Neuroscience + Faith: Salt and Light When Powers Collide
Rooted in faith and anchored by cutting-edge neuroscience research, this fusion curriculum equips students with transformative tools for rewiring toxic thought patterns, navigating emotional trauma, and guiding clients through evidence-based CBT strategies.
Additionally, the program includes breakthrough techniques based on mind-body research from Dr. Leelo Bush that are grounded in the natural activation of feel-good neurotransmitters, returning real feelings of joy and emotion.
Two Paths to Certification
Since we serve such a broad market, Grief Coach U offers two separate certification tracks for differing professional needs:
- Grief Support Specialist (Coach) Certification (No Business and Marketing Components): For those who are more interested in the coaching components only. Tuition: $1797 USD.
- Joy Restoration / Christian Grief Coach Dual-Certification with License: A complete program with advanced business and marketing training along with professional licensing, perfect for those ready for upper-level applications. Tuition: $3597 USD.
Both certification programs offer flexible self-paced study opportunities that can be completed in about nine weeks, with in-house payment plans and third-party financing options available.
