Relationship to the Independent National Board for Grief Certification
Rita Suzanne serves as Executive Director of the Independent National Board for Grief Certification (INBGC). This website is her personal site and is operated independently of the board.
Nothing on this site is an official communication, policy, or position of the board. Opinions expressed here are her own. Board standards, policies, certification requirements, and official statements are published at inbgc.org, which is the only authoritative source for that information.
Certification decisions are made through the board's published process. No content on this site, and no personal or professional relationship with Rita Suzanne, affects a candidate's eligibility, application review, Board Examination, or certification status.
Relationship to the National Board of Executive Function Certification
Rita Suzanne sits on the board of the National Board of Executive Function Certification (NBEFC) and is paid a commission on NBEFC sales from her outreach to schools.
NBEFC and the Independent National Board for Grief Certification are separate organizations. Neither one endorses the other.
Content and speaking
Rita's content and speaking are her own and are separate from the board. The board does not require, recommend, review, or endorse them. They do not count toward qualifying education, verified practice hours, or continuing education for any credential, and they do not prepare anyone for the Board Examination or teach the board's standard.

Content on this site is general in nature and is not legal, financial, tax, medical, educational, or mental health advice. It is not a substitute for working with a qualified professional who knows your specific circumstances.
Rita Suzanne is not a grief coach, therapist, or clinician. Non-clinical grief support, including grief coaching, does not diagnose, treat, or provide therapy, and nothing on this site should be understood as clinical guidance. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
No guarantees
Strategies, frameworks, and ideas shared on this site are offered without any guarantee of a particular result. Outcomes depend on factors specific to each business and individual, and you are responsible for your own decisions and results.
No income claims, earnings figures, or performance guarantees are made anywhere on this site or in speaking engagements. Any example used to illustrate a point should not be treated as typical, expected, or promised.
