Grief Speaker & Trainer
Grief Speaker & Trainer for North Texas
Bryna Talamantez speaks and trains on grief for schools, mental health professionals, community groups, and organizations across North Texas. She’s spent years turning her own experience with childhood loss, and her clinical work with grieving families, into conversations that make grief easier to talk about.
Grief is something everyone will face, but it’s rarely talked about openly. Bryna’s talks and trainings are her way of pushing back on that, one room at a time.
