“All ran smoothly. Very professional yet felt relaxed all the way through. Given plenty of opportunities to ‘not get involved’ with activities if we felt it was too much for us. Well informed.“
Day 1: Understanding the needs of bereaved children and young people
Thursday 23rd September 2021 SOLD OUT
On this day you will get an overview of child bereavement and understand the needs of these children, learning how to make it talked about and not hidden. We will cover some issues around how children understand and react to grief at different developmental stages.
We will also cover bereavement theory and touch on trauma and some of the other complicating factors.
You will learn some self-care techniques to ensure that you are well supported in order to meet the needs of the children in your care.
Day 2: Anticipated loss, culture and trauma
Thursday 21st October 2021
This day takes an in-depth look at supporting a child and their family through a serious illness. We look at how grief can be impacted by other factors, including culture and the cause of death, and offer tools and techniques for each scenario.
We look in detail at how trauma and grief differ and the particular support a child with significant trauma needs. We also offer guidance and advice on the correct policies and procedures a school should have in place.
The course finishes with a lesson on self-care and building up your tool kit to support yourself.
Day 3: Vulnerability and resilience
Thursday 18th November 2021
On the final day we look at complicating factors and vulnerabilities including complex family structures, children in the care sector and children with special needs and how you can support these individuals and their families.
We take an in-depth look at self-care and building resilience. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, to remain motivated and productive in the face of increasing pressure, uncertainty and stress. This is vital to enable you to continue to support the children and young people in your care.
