Bereavement and Loss Awareness

In health and social care settings, staff often form close, meaningful relationships with the individuals they support. During times of bereavement, knowing how to respond with empathy, compassion, and appropriate support is essential to ensure individuals feel understood, comforted, and respected in their grief. This comprehensive Loss and Bereavement Care training course provides learners with a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges associated with grief. It explores the different stages of loss, cultural and individual responses to bereavement, and offers guidance on how to communicate sensitively and effectively with those experiencing grief. Learners will also gain practical strategies for providing emotional support and signposting additional resources when needed. While the course is particularly relevant to professionals working in care settings, its content is valuable for anyone seeking to support others through bereavement, including those in education, community work, or volunteer roles.
