About this event
This practical workshop has been developed using theories of grief and drawing on the experiences of young people. Attendees will explore a range of strategies to support bereaved pupils and develop confidence when talking to young people about death and grief. There will be opportunities to consider procedures within school which promote a bereavement aware culture.
We are able to offer this workshop at £65 due to a kind donation from one of our corporate partners, Derwent London.
