Grief Awareness Training
Course description
On average, for every person who dies, there will be nine people left bereaved – partners, family members, friends, colleagues, neighbours.
At some point, every one of us will be affected by grief or know someone who is.
Grief is a natural, normal and necessary reaction to loss, but one that can feel overwhelming and have a huge impact on someone’s life.
Stepping Stones Grief Awareness programme is an introduction to grief and bereavement support for anyone who regularly has contact with bereaved people, helping you to:
- Understand how the grief process works, what normal grief looks like and when grief reactions may be unhealthy
- Recognise the need for bereavement support and what can help, including Pilgrims’ Stepping Stones Bereavement Support service
- Develop communication skills to support bereaved people who may be distressed
Who is it for?
This 2.5-hour training session is suitable for anyone who regularly has contact with, or provides support to bereaved adults as part of their job or through community activities.
