All training events

All our core training is delivered online by experienced facilitators. Online interactive training sessions are limited to 25 people to allow for discussion; these last for 3 hours. Our webinars are for much larger groups and last from 60 to 90 minutes; they have a Q&A function but are not interactive. Training courses are run regularly throughout the year and the cost for a 3-hour session is £45 per person. If you have a number of people requiring training, it may be more cost-effective to arrange a bespoke training session for your organisation, either online or face to face. You may also wish to book a bespoke training session so that content can be tailored to the specific needs of your team.

Grieving for a child of any age

The agony of losing a child of any age is unparalleled. There is no age or point in time that makes it any easier. No parent expects to face the death of their child and no grandparent expects to lose their grandchild.
When a grandparent dies - the impact on children and young people

The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies. There is the grief associated with their own loss, but also the reactions and responses of their children to the death of a grandparent.
Children's understanding of death at different ages

Babies and young children have no understanding of the concept of death yet, long before they are able to talk, babies are likely to react to upset and changes in their environment brought about by the absence of a significant person.
