Grief Aware Course

Grief Aware™ is our free, five-session bereavement support course for those who have been bereaved or for those supporting someone who has.

The sessions run for five, consecutive weeks and each session lasts for around an hour and a half. We seek to create a relaxed and informal atmosphere where there are opportunities to share experiences, listen to each other and to learn in a safe and welcoming environment.

Explore. Reflect. Restore. Remember.

Each of the five sessions follow the same ‘explore, reflect, restore’ format, designed to support you as you navigate grief.

 Explore: over the five weeks we talk about what grief is and think about the purpose of grieving, we look at some theories of grief and consider whether they make sense in reality and we spend some time identifying the varied factors that are all a normal response to grief.

Reflect: we create space each week for those that wish to share personal experiences and/or for personal reflection about the ideas and concepts presented

Restore: we use our unique ‘Coaching Triangle’ to identify useful tools for navigating the grief journey in a healthy way.

Grief Aware Workshop

We also offer Grief Aware™ as a package to business and organisations who would like to become more grief aware. Our workshops can be tailor made to your needs and run as half day, whole day or a series of sessions. The course can run as a support course for those who are bereaved or are supporting someone who is. It can also be held as a training course with an emphasis on understanding what grief is and how to support those who are grieving. Both courses equip participants to talk more naturally about grief with colleagues and friends whenever a loss of any kind is experienced and promote positive peer support within the workplace.
