Cruse Loss and Bereavement Awareness November 2024

12 November 2024 10:15am–12:45pm

This online workshop is open to any UNISON members but is particularly useful for those who regularly deal with bereaved people in their work.  The session will reflect on the grieving process, seeking greater understanding of current models on grief that can help. It will also look at the impact of loss on families, individuals and the role communication can play.

The workshop is delivered by Cruse Bereavement Support on behalf of UNISON College. It will help participants to:

  • Gain a broader understanding of the grieving process by looking at current models and examples
  • Understand why people grieve differently and the factors that influence how they grieve
  • Explore the impact of loss and grief on individuals, friends, families and colleagues.
  • Improve knowledge of how to provide emotional and practical support to someone who is grieving
  • Understand how to communicate effectively and compassionately with someone who is grieving
  • Develop confidence in talking about difficult and sensitive topics.
  • Be aware of the impact of supporting someone who is grieving and how to look after yourself.

The session will be delivered online via Zoom on Tuesday 12th November 10.15am – 12.45pm. Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis.
