Grief Sensitivity Training 1 & 2 July 2026

1 & 2 July 2026

Grief is inevitable in an ageing population, where 1 in 4 will be over the age of 65 by the year 2030. Healthcare professionals are at the frontlines of this silver tsunami, interacting daily with patients and caregivers. This course will equip them with the knowledge and practical skills to navigate such interactions with greater sensitivity, ease and finesse. 

Grief is common but not commonly understood. In particular, the loss of health, limb and mobility brings about significant (and often irreversible) lifestyle changes, and can cause profound grief. There can also be anticipatory grief about impending death, as well as deep grief after bereavement. 

This course will clear up the misconceptions around grief, and give you the awareness, language, sensitivity and tools you need to relate effectively with grievers. 

This course aims to enable participants to:​

• Understand what is loss and grief​
• Identify the 40+ major losses in life
• ​Identify Healthy & Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms
• ​Understand the 6 Misconceptions of Grief
• ​Understand the Grief Process
