What will you learn?
This interactive workshop is designed to help individuals become familiar with the nature of grief and how to go about supporting people in their loss. This session has a general focus on grief and bereavement and offers a great space to develop a baseline understanding of how to offer effective support to those who are grieving.
The training will cover:
- Psychoeducation on grief and associated difficulties
- Explore psychological models of grief
- Increase understanding of Anticipatory grief
- How to have difficult conversations and address conflict
- How to support others through showing empathy and compassion
- How to support ourselves and develop personal resilience
- Signposting and resources
Please note: this training is designed to upskill people in their knowledge, skills and confidence to support people who are grieving. This course is NOT a grief support group, or a space to receive bereavement support/therapy.
Where is the training delivered?
In person at The Broadway Cinema, Nottingham (The Studio, 14-18 Broad Street, Nottingham NG1 3AL).
Duration: This session runs from 10am to 3pm with scheduled breaks.
