Thursday 23rd July: 12–1pm
Bereavement touches every workplace, yet many managers and colleagues feel ill-equipped to respond. This session equips you with the knowledge and confidence to support bereaved colleagues in a meaningful, sensitive way. We’ll cover practical approaches to having difficult conversations, understanding the unpredictable nature of grief, and creating a workplace culture where loss is acknowledged rather than avoided.
Tuesday 8th Sep: 1pm – 2pm
Men often face unique pressures around grief — shaped by societal expectations, cultural norms, and the persistent idea that strength means staying silent. This session takes an honest look at how men experience and express grief differently, the barriers they face in seeking support, and how we can better reach and help bereaved men. Suitable for practitioners, supporters, and anyone who wants to understand this often-overlooked dimension of loss.
Thursday 10th September: 12:30pm – 1:30pm
Join us for an insightful session on understanding pet loss. We will delve into discussions on the roles animals play in our lives and the impact of their departure, exploring themes like disenfranchised and anticipatory grief. This session aims to equip you with tools to navigate conversations about your loss, offer support to others, and nurture continuing bonds with pets through shared stories.
Wednesday 16th September: 1-2pm
The death of a baby is unfortunately very common (more than 13 a day) and such an event will often have a devastating impact on the whole family. The grief that follows for each family member is a grief that stays with them for life and changes them in a way they never imagined. Frustratingly for those bereaved families, it’s a taboo subject and the rest of society seem to carry on, not able or not wanting to empathise with what they have been through.
This session aims to raise awareness of what this experience is like for families and the uniqueness of their grief journey compared with other kinds of bereavement. There will be a practical focus on what they need to be able to grieve more effectively for themselves and the things we can do to support them as professionals.
Tuesday 15th October: 1-2pm
Grief doesn’t only affect how we feel — it can have profound effects on our physical and mental health. This session explores the well-evidenced connections between loss and wellbeing, looking at how grief can manifest in the body and mind. Whether you’re a professional supporting bereaved people or seeking personal understanding, this session offers valuable insight into why holistic, compassionate support matters.
