Grief First Aid Training
Grief is a deeply personal experience that touches us all, yet it can feel overwhelming and isolating for those going through it. Many of us struggle with knowing how to respond or support others, and misunderstandings around grief are common. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a colleague, or a significant life change, the emotional impact can be profound and far-reaching.
Our Grief First Aid Training, guided by Transpire’s GRACE™ framework, helps individuals and organisations build the confidence and skills to respond with compassion. The training provides practical tools to recognise different reactions to grief, offer meaningful support, and foster environments where people feel seen, heard, and understood during difficult times.
“Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim"
- Vicki Harrison, Author
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.
33% of people say they have frequently avoided talking about their loss because they knew it would make other people uncomfortable.
This is despite 46% of people saying talking was a preferred way of celebrating the life of a loved one.
“A third of people in UK fear upsetting others talking about grief”
