Training for NHS Talking Therapies Staff - Working with Grief, Loss and Death
We’re proud to have kicked off a series of 3 webinars on the subject of Working with Grief, Loss and Death with the Cheshire and Merseyside Workforce Hub as part of our bereavement awareness training portfolio.
The sessions are designed to enhance awareness and self-awareness among both clinical and non-clinical Talking Therapies staff in managing and supporting grief, loss, and death effectively, both with clients and colleagues.
Key topics covered include Grief Literacy, differentiating between grief, mourning, and bereavement, the seven dimensions of bereavement, and developing the skills to engage with people who are bereaved.
The series is structured to include reflective exercises for participants to engage in deep reflection on their own experiences of loss and grief, promoting emotional insight, personal growth, and critical self-reflection.
The first session was attended by 130 Taking Therapies staff from 8 NHS organisations and received a rating of 4.68/5 from the 60 participants who completed the evaluation.
Some evaluation comments received include:
A really helpful exploration of attitudes towards loss and grief. It was good to reflect on how we distinguish between grief and depression as practitioners. Thank you so much!
This session was extremely insightful and many thanks to Roger for delivering such a valuable session. It was good to reflect on grief as it is something we usually do not do often. I liked the waterfall/whirlpool slide - this helped me to understand the different layers or aspects of bereavement and grief. Looking forward to the next session!
The session was very helpful for personally understanding my own response to grief and loss which in turn will help me when supporting others going through the process. The speaker had a good pace and delivered the session in such a way that it spoke to the soul. 10/10 Thank you.
