Bereavement Support for Children and Young People with SEND

Extend your knowledge and develop new skills and approaches to confidently understand and support children and young people who have experienced trauma and insecure attachments.

Training employees in the skills and understanding to become a bereavement advocate.

Training those who work with children and young people in any setting to become a bereavement advocate with the knowledge and skills to understand how children and young people grieve, implement effective support strategies and provide compassionate support to those who have experienced loss.

Grief is a normal human response to loss, therefore, organisations need to be prepared to safeguard their staff. With mental health being highly supported, a greater understanding of the struggles specific to bereavement is required for employees to feel supported during this time. The trained employee will gain the knowledge and confidence to assist colleagues by knowing what to say, what not to say, how to handle difficult situations and become more aware of the warning signs of a person in need. The training complements your organisation’s well-being provision and will benefit the wider welfare of all employees.
