Bereavement training video
An introduction to childhood bereavement and how families and professionals can support grieving children and young people.
Supporting bereaved children and young people during COVID-19
It is more important than ever for children, young people and families to have bereavement support when they need it. So, we have developed this free online training video to help you to support children and young people during COVID-19.
This video will help you to understand how a child or young person might react when someone in the family is seriously ill – from any condition, not just COVID-19. It will also guide you on how you can support them before and after a death and how the current coronavirus pandemic and lockdown situation can impact on grief.
This is not a replacement for our face-to-face training, just a resource to help families and professionals during this difficult time. We hope to have our full training events up and running later in the year and if this training video has helped you, you might like to look at our other training and book on a course at a later date.
