This training is an invaluable tool for universities. It enables staff to begin to know what is useful in coming alongside students in grief and to feel supported through a very tricky topic.

Training
For those hoping to gain a better understanding of grief, the specific challenges that students may face and how to offer support. We combine an educational and compassionate approach, giving space for participants to learn but also to reflect and to share if they would like to. We can deliver training in a range of formats, such as an introductory 1 hour webinar or a more in-depth half-day programme.
Please contact us for more information.
Thank you for facilitating conversations which have enhanced our knowledge and capacity to support our students and ourselves. The work you are doing is really valuable and your delivery is knowledgeable, practical and compassionate.
Consultancy
Bereavement poses health and wellbeing challenges, with a knock-on effect in education and employment. The right support can help reduce these risks and address the ongoing needs of students and staff.
The nature of our work includes: reviewing existing policies and procedures and making recommendations; support with comms and resource creation; working to build internal support systems for students and staff, including support setting up groups; and initial-response support and strategy making when a student or staff member dies.

You created a space where we felt safe to open up and empowered us to ask questions and contribute to discussions, helping us grow and learn together.
Workshops
Through a mix of educational content, guided activity and conversation prompts, we facilitate workshops for those personally affected by bereavement. We guide and empower people to better understand their experience, feel less alone, and build tools for supporting themselves. This can be delivered through one-off sessions or as a series.

I’ve stopped bottling things up. I’ve said more about how I really feel in a few hours than I have for years. It’s really helped me deal with things.
Events
We are happy to join you on campus to help build community and improve awareness around grief and the available support is. This could be a busy stall or a quieter drop-in space, hosted independently or as part of another event. Please let us know what kind of thing you’re looking for and we can work with you to create something that is most helpful for your students and staff.
