About Us
The AEA Institute is a national organization focused on active grieving and active grief support groups. We offer our unique Grief Tribes and Battle Tribes communities in both an adult and adolescent service offering. We believe in the power of community, the power of tribes, and the power of best practices.
The AEA Institute flagship service is our Grief Tribes product broken into an adult grief support groups and an adolescent grief support groups. The AEA Institute offers the traditional resources of grief, such as books, webinars, podcasts, resources, etc, but our most important value is that we bring people together and create an active community at exactly the times that a grieving person needs it – when the noise becomes quiet.
The Founder of The AEA Institute went through his own grief journey in 2018 when he lost his 39 year old wife to cancer in 41 days (from diagnosis to death). He and his five children have set up foundations and programs to help others in grief.
