A Master of Social Work (MSW) is an advanced graduate degree that equips professionals with specialized skills in counselling, mental health, and advocacy. Through this training, practitioners learn to support individuals and families as they navigate complex emotional landscapes, including grief, loss, and transition.
A Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) provides foundational preparation for addressing social issues, fostering resilience, and strengthening community connections through empathy, equity, and evidence-informed practice.
A Registered Social Worker (RSW) is a professional designation for licensed social workers, ensuring ethical, accountable, and compassionate care across healthcare, education, and community service settings.
Thanatology—the study of death, dying, grief, and loss—enhances social work by deepening understanding of how people respond to change, mortality, and meaning-making. At This Thing Called Grief, a thanatological approach informs everything we do, guiding our team to offer knowledgeable, compassionate, and personalized support during life’s most difficult transitions.
