Session Description

About the Event

Kalmer Counselling will explore loss and grief with you, as it's such an emotive topic that we often feel uncomfortable addressing. However, it is very important to be able to talk about it and involve children in the grieving process to minimise long-term impact on their mental health and wellbeing. We all grieve, it is part of life and it is important to feel more confident as professionals in equipping children and young people with coping strategies early to process and deal with it. This session explores the stages of grief and the elements of loss which children, young people and families may experience. We will explore the stages of loss and grief and the grief response.

  • Teachers, pastoral staff

Been having first aid training for 13 years. This was the best one I've attended. Far more informative and covered more likely scenarios that would happen in the school setting

I feel this course has been better than previous first aid courses I've completed. More focus on the types of injuries that we would likely treat in our role
