Grief When No-One Has Died
Thursday 17 September (1.30-4pm)
Grief is often linked to bereavement, yet many life changes can prompt a deep sense of loss. This session explores non-death related grief, such as the end of a foster placement, imprisonment, gender transition, and health changes, and considers how these experiences can feel unseen or misunderstood. You’ll reflect on how validation, supportive language, and practical approaches can aid healthy grieving, as well as the self-care needed when supporting others through these often overlooked losses.

The weight of supporting others: understanding secondary trauma and compassion fatigue
Wednesday 7 October 2026 1.30-4pm
Supporting and caring for others’ needs on a regular basis, in a paid or voluntary role, can come at an emotional cost.
This can create a high-risk environment for secondary trauma and compassion fatigue.
This session highlights the importance of valuing our own wellbeing when working with clients' grief, distress, and trauma.
How can we manage this and keep ourselves, those we manage, and people we support, safe?
