Online Bereavement & Loss Workshops – Irish Hospice Foundation

From January to June, Irish Hospice Foundation is running 20 online workshops, covering a range of topics on bereavement and loss, such as “Disenfranchised, Ambiguous & Anticipatory Grief”, “Working with Adults Facing Death”, and “Prolonged/Complicated Grief”.

About the Bereavement & Loss Workshops

These workshops are targeted at professionals and volunteers who may wish to learn about bereavement and loss, and for those working with people who have experienced a loss. The aim of the workshops is to equip attendees with the understanding of the grieving process, communication skills, and appropriate methods for supporting those who are bereaved.

The workshops are facilitated by practitioners who specialise in specific aspects of bereavement and loss and bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the training.
