Grief in Older Age
Wednesday 30 September (9.30-12pm)
This interactive session explores how grief uniquely affects older adults, drawing on examples of lived experience to illuminate the often unseen emotional weight carried in later life.
The weight of supporting others: understanding secondary trauma and compassion fatigue
Monday 12 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?
Grief and Neurodiversity
Wednesday 28 October (9.30-12pm)
This session explores the different ways neurodivergent people, including autistic people and people with ADHD, may experience, process, and express grief.
Drawing on the insights and experiences of neurodivergent individuals, we'll share practical approaches to help you provide support that is understanding, inclusive, and responsive to each person's unique needs and communication style.
Disenfranchised Grief
Friday 30 October (9.30-12pm)
What is disenfranchised grief and why does it happen? This course is for anyone who wants a better understanding of all types of grief, but especially the kind of grief that people feel they have no right to feel.
Anyone working in a psychologically supportive way with clients/patients, or who has an interest in grief in all its forms, will find this course invaluable.
Cultural Differences in Death, Grief and Ritual
Monday 2 November (1.30-4pm)
This session explores how culture and faith shapes our experiences of grief, death, and mourning.
Working with Grief & Suicidal Ideation
Monday 16 November (9.30am-12noon)
This course explores the unique challenges of working with grieving clients who express suicidal ideation.
Grief and Learning Disabilities
Tuesday 17 November (9.30am-12noon)
There is no set way to grieve. Adults and children with learning disabilities may experience and express grief in ways that can be overlooked, misunderstood, or attributed to other causes, leaving important grief needs unrecognised and unsupported.
This interactive training explores how bereavement may uniquely impact people with learning disabilities and equips participants with practical approaches to provide compassionate, person-centred support.
