Course overview
We are Dr Lucy Hone and Dr Denise Quinlan and we help people navigate tough times. As 'pracademics' with more than two decades of experience, we know what works, and want to share the distillation of our findings to help you as you help others.
There's so much disinformation about grief, and yet so many practical tools that can help ease the pain and suffering.

Webinar feedback
Hi, I'm Lucy and I'm on a mission to shift the narrative around grief.
I know the agony of bereavement personally, having experienced heartbreaking loss when our 12 year old daughter was killed in a tragic road accident.
When Abi died, as a resilience researcher, I quickly became frustrated by the standard grief advice. I desperately wanted to be an active participant in my grief process, doing everything I possibly could to survive, instead of a helpless passenger, or treated as a victim.
In the years since, I have become known globally for helping thousands of people find a better way through bereavement. There is no one 'right' way to grieve, but there are tools from my field that can make the journey less agonising and empower the bereaved to handle their emotions and relationships better.
My TED talk, 3 Secrets of Resilient People, went viral during Covid, putting it in the Top 20 most watched talks of 2020.
Nowadays, I'm a senior adjunct professor and travel the world as a professional speaker, best-selling author, and award-winning ‘pracademic’. I blog for Psychology Today and my grief work is featured in the Guardian, the Washington Post, the BBC, CBS, ABC, the Sydney Morning Herald, Channel News Asia, Swedish Television, and TVNZ.
Frankly, grief sucks! Nothing I can do will remove all the pain of grief, but I can share everything I've learned to help you support others through their loss - helping them restore hope, regain control and feel more like themselves again.
Ultimately, it is possible to live and grieve at the same time. I look forward to showing you how.

Hi I'm Denise, and I've long been passionate about helping people navigate tough times.
Having trained with the founders of the science of wellbeing at the University of Pennsylvania, I was invited to be part of their team delivering the first science-based resilience and wellbeing training programme ever created - working across Australia and the UK.
I'm no stranger to grief and have worked with scores of clients helping them find what helps them cope with loss. My work is published in international academic journals and I have loved lecturing and speaking around the world on wellbeing and resilience, including guest lecturing at globally ranked IE Business School in Madrid.
I know how hard it is to grieve - to feel the rug has been pulled from beneath you, and how hard it can feel to find a way forward. Against this backdrop, I look forward to helping you find hope for the future, and manage the rollercoaster of emotions and relationship challenges.
Have hope, Denise 💜
