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.
Grief When No-One Has Died
Tuesday 10 November (9.30-12pm)
Many people experience grief even when no one has died. It can be brought on by a change of situation, loss of a connection, purpose or relationship.
This course will benefit those who work directly with others experiencing 'non death related grief' such as those in fostering, the justice system, care based roles.
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.
Grief in Older Age
Wednesday 25 November (9.30am-12noon)
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.
Compassionate Conversations
Thursday 26 November (1.30-4pm)
A course to resource staff who have contact with bereaved people as part of their role, and those who are motivated to improve their empathetic communication skills.
This training will build your confidence and insight to the differing expressions of grief responses following bereavement; and support you to convey compassionate responses, whilst demonstrating genuine understanding and support.
The weight of supporting others: understanding secondary trauma and compassion fatigue
Friday 4 December 2026 (9.30am-12noon)
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 9 December (9.30-12pm)

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.
