Bereavement Training for Individuals: Supporting Grief & Loss

Understanding the Experience of Bereaved People

Our CPD-accredited bereavement training course is designed to support confident, compassionate conversations. Learn about the impact of grief, cultural considerations, and how to signpost appropriate support. It will be delivered online via Teams and is open for anyone to book.

This online course builds confidence and competence in supporting bereaved people with empathy, clarity, and professionalism. You’ll be introduced to the lived experience of bereavement, the practical tasks that often follow a death, and the psychological and emotional realities of grief.

We’ll explore how to hold sensitive conversations in the workplace (and beyond), what you may notice in someone’s grief response, and how to signpost to the right support for the individual.
