Training and Education for Health Care Professionals, Volunteers and Managers
Introduction to Loss & Bereavement (Death, End of Life Preparation, Loss of Physical and Mental Ability)
1) A one or two day training course for care professionals and volunteers working with people experiencing loss and helping to guide service users through the bereavement process.
2) A one day training course to support those who have suffered loss and bereavement in their own lives.
The course gives all relevant background information including definitions, theory, approaches, symptom recognition and treatment options. It will address safeguarding, legal framework, Human Rights aspects and UK best practise guidelines.
Emphasis is given to empowering staff to embrace their own ability and empathy, to deal with awkward and distressing situations adequately and to increase their awareness, assessment skills and communication ability in emotional and potentially stressful situations. Staff resilience is key for happy and productive staff members.
The course has run successfully for two years through Cornwall Council supporting statutory and voluntary organisations and their staff.
The course is flexible and able to incorporate managerial CPD requirements in supporting staff who are dealing with loss and bereavement. It addresses supervision, communication, systemic structure and support options to enhance staff capability and stress management.
The course can be designed to work with service users who are experiencing loss and bereavement. The course will address stress and fear, symptoms and support options and give knowledge, understanding and ability to monitor and manage symptoms better.
The course comes with a 30 page handbook.
The two day course incorporates case studies, processing group and enhancing the ‘practical toolbox’. It is an excellent course for organisational development.
