Abstract
Bereavement counseling professionals are very rare in Nigerian schools system. Although most of the available counselors with their general education knowledge in counseling often dive into this area to assist students and their families successfully work through the process of bereavement and grief. However, bereavement and grief are multifaceted human experiences that often require specialized knowledge, skills and understanding besides the counselor’s general education experiences. In this study, therefore, focus on increasing counselors’ understanding of bereavement counseling that would in turn serve as a baseline resource for successful counseling with bereaved students and other clients within the Nigerian setting.
