WORKPLACE TRAINING · LOSS & GRIEF
The grief training most workplaces are quietly desperate for.
A full-day experiential programme for managers and teams facing bereavement, anticipatory loss, or professional loss in the work itself.
Request a discovery call about this courseWHO IT'S FOR
Care providers, end-of-life services, healthcare teams, and any workplace where grief — clients', colleagues', or one's own — is part of the operational reality. Also suited to corporate teams that have experienced loss within the team and want to respond well, not awkwardly.
WHY THIS COURSE EXISTS
Most workplace wellbeing programmes avoid grief. The reasons are understandable — it's heavy, it's hard to facilitate, and it doesn't fit a tick-box.
That avoidance is precisely the problem. Grief shows up at work whether your training programme acknowledges it or not. Done well, this course gives managers and teams the framework, the language, and the confidence to respond when it does.

FORMATS & PRICING
| Format | Duration | Cohort cap | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full day | 6–7 hours | Max 12 people | £1,750 |
| 2 × half-days | Spread over weeks | Max 12 people | £2,100 |
No half-day option. A condensed version would compromise the depth this topic demands. We won't run it as a 2-hour awareness session because that would be worse than not running it at all.
Cohort cap of 12 is deliberate. This course is highly experiential — participants explore their own relationship with loss as part of the learning. Larger groups break that.
Recommended format: 2 × half-days. Reduces emotional intensity per session and gives participants reflection time between.
“Resilience isn't learned from a textbook.”
Delivered live, in person, by Steve. No eLearning. No webinar version. The reason to book this course is the room — not the content alone.
