The International Work Group in Death, Dying and Bereavement (IWG) is an invitational international organization that seeks to advance and nurture the development of the field. Further, IWG provides leadership and support to those involved in death education, in the care and support of the terminally ill, in the care of the bereaved, and in promoting research, evaluation, application, and policy development in these areas.

The IWG accomplishes its mission in two ways. First, it conducts regular meetings at which leaders in the field can, in an atmosphere of shared collegiality, work and study together. Second, by doing so IWG promotes both the acquisition of knowledge and the promulgation, evaluation, and testing of assumptions that can then be disseminated to others, thereby serving a catalytic role.

SITE REGISTRATION: Secured areas on this site are organizational in nature and are restricted to current members of IWG and those who participated in the most recent meeting.
