Grief First Aid
This workshop provides participants with the tools and confidence to better understand grief and its impact on mental health. Participants will explore the different ways grief can show up, from the obvious to the unexpected, and how it can impact people emotionally and physically.
Participants will learn practical ways to support someone who’s grieving, including how to have compassionate conversations, set healthy boundaries, and signpost to the right support. Participants will also have the time to reflect on their own emotional resilience and what helps them stay grounded when supporting others.
Why Grief First Aid Matters
Grief can profoundly affect a person’s emotional, mental, and physical well-being, as well as their ability to function in everyday life. Many people feel unsure of how to offer meaningful support to someone who is grieving, often avoiding the conversation entirely out of fear of saying or doing the wrong thing.
Our training breaks through these barriers, equipping participants to provide compassionate, informed, and practical support to those navigating loss.
