Bereavement & Loss 2020
Bereavement: The Last Taboo
This is a highly experiential course in a safe and supportive environment. We take an in-depth look at the experience of bereavement and loss and how we might respond and care for the bereaved in different ways.
Over the five days the course aims to look at:
- Self-awareness and loss
- Theories of bereavement and loss
- Listening and responding to loss
- Grief and the extended family
- Anticipatory grief
