Supporting Bereaved Children and Young People

The study day will help to develop confidence, skills and practical techniques to use in supporting a bereaved child. It introduces bereavement and developmental theory and research; enables opportunities to learn from what children and young people have said and hands on memory work. You will learn how to support and enable children to express and manage their grief and how to have meaningful conversations about death and dying. Looking after yourself and developing your emotional resilience is also an important theme and also, how Winston's Wish can support you in your work.  This study day is ideally suited to front-line professionals in health and children's workforce, schools, voluntary sector and other agencies who may have little or no previous bereavement training.
