Wednesday 1 July (9.30-12pm)
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.
