GRIEF AWARENESS TRAINING
When you're faced with someone who is deep in grief, you can feel unsure of what to do or say, or how best to offer support. But with the right tools and guidance, it's possible to make a real difference. At Grief Guides, we empower individuals, communities and workplaces to provide compassionate, effective grief support. Whether your role involves interacting with the bereaved on a regular basis, or you want to contribute towards a more grief-informed culture in your organisation, we’re here to guide you how to provide support during life’s most challenging moments.
Three elements make up the Grief Guides concept: engaging live training sessions, expertly crafted self-learning content and resources, and our innovative paper-based Grief Map
Grief Guides: (00) Mapping Compassionate Support
In this CPD accredited course you will get a comprehensive understanding of grief, preparing you on how to use the Grief Map. This depth of knowledge will be foundational, enabling you to feel confident when supporting someone during an emotionally challenging conversation.
This course is rich in content, but you will add extra value if you fully engage with all aspects of the learning, including the reflective journals, and connecting with the community. For this reason, we haven't put a time limit on how long the course will take someone. Once this course has been completed the resources and lessons will remain available to you, to revisit and continually build your skills.
After you have completed this course you will be able to register and attend the 90-minute tutor led Teams meeting. In that session you will gain further insight and have the opportunity to check your understanding with the trainer.
What To Expect
Relatable and transferable knowledge. The insights you will get in this training will be useful across your life, from work to community to family. Grief is a part of the human condition, but when we learn how to adapt and grow around our grief, the less life complications we encounter.
Each stage of the training builds upon the last. Our intention is for this to be a process of learning and building upon your understanding and skillset, rather than a one-off training session. The self-learning modules will continually evolve, remaining accessible and contemporary.
