Supporting Grief Well: The Grief Map Approach
CPD-Accredited Training in Grief, Bereavement & Loss Support
In this course you will get a comprehensive understanding of grief, which will allow you to use the Grief Map as a sophisticated in-conversation aid. Every course comes with a physical map.
This depth of knowledge is foundational, enabling you to feel confident when supporting someone during an emotionally challenging conversation. The insights will be useful across your life, from work to community to family.
Each stage of the training builds upon the last. Our intention is for this to be a process of learning and building upon your understanding and skillset, rather than a one-off training session. The self-learning modules will continually evolve, remaining accessible and contemporary.
This course is rich in content, but you will add extra value if you fully engage with all aspects of the learning, including the reflective journals, and connecting with the community. For this reason, we haven't put a time limit on how long the course will take someone. Once this course has been completed, the resources and lessons will remain available to you to revisit and continually build your skills.
After you have completed this course, you will be able to register and attend the 60-90-minute tutor-led Teams meeting. In that session, you will gain further insight and have the opportunity to check your understanding with the trainer.
If you have arrived on this page using a discounted link, that price will be reflected at the final checkout page.
If you have decided you do not need the physical map, or have already purchased a Grief Map (see button below to buy the map separately), you can discount this course by £15.00 by using the code IHAVEAMAP at the checkout. When we see this code, we will not post you a map.
