IHF and RCSI are now inviting applications for their part-time postgraduate programmes run over two years. Starting in September 2021.

MSc Loss & Bereavement and MSc Loss & Bereavement (Clinical Practice)

These Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland (RCSI) postgraduate programmes, in association with Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF), are designed to impact on health, social and community systems and ultimately to enhance quality of life. They are rooted in contemporary bereavement scientific research as well as being designed against a policy and professional regulation backdrop.

The clinical practice pathway is for those working therapeutically with bereaved people. The second pathway is a general education route for participants who work in other areas of bereavement care including education, management, policy and support.

For MSc Loss & Bereavement, applications are invited from representatives of a wide range of professional disciplines who wish to develop a deeper understanding of loss and grief at individual and societal level or whose work/volunteering roles involve the organisation of bereavement support in community, health or other areas of general bereavement care.

MSc Loss & Bereavement (Clinical Practice), applications are invited from mental health professionals such as counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, social worker bereavement coordinators and others who design and implement clinical bereavement interventions as part of their practice.

For further information please go to the Irish Hospice Foundation website www.irishhospicefoundation.ie Education and Training to download our MSc brochure which will give you course details, schedule of dates, fees and the application procedure. Please note application is on-line only through the RCSI website at www.rcsi.com – postgraduate programmes, Loss and Bereavement.

Soearth Projects are hosting an 'in person' self care weekend at Soearth Projects Kill, Co.Kildare on the 21st and 22nd of August (dependent on government restrictions). This event takes place in our purpose built venue, surrounded by acres of forested and bio-diverse land. This weekend is facilitated by Heidi Morrison, Art Psychotherapist.

What to expect: This self care weekend is enjoyed through the use of creativity and nature for wellbeing. The weekend will offer participants a chance to pause, unwind, interact and immerse oneself with nature and creativity.

This weekend focuses on the creative processes, nature and our engagement with it, using art as a tool for relaxation and wellness (it is not skills dependent and not instructive). We will be using self care themes, such as grounding, holding, nourishment etc and will be employing nature to inspire such themes.

This weekend is perfect for those wanting to relax and positively engage with themselves and others. It is also great for those who are interested in using nature and/or creative processes in therapeutic practice. The event is aimed for those working in psychotherapy and healthcare related fields.
