New Training Course

ICCM and Cruse – Loss and Bereavement Awareness Training

The ICCM and Cruse have developed a new online training course for those working with bereaved people. The course provides an understanding of how grief can affect people, and teaches skills that can be used in our interactions to provide better support and services.

The course is suitable for anyone who works with bereaved people, even those who have many years experience. ICCM Officers and Directors took part in a pilot for the course, and found that although they had a combined experience of over 100 years working in bereavement services, each learnt something new. The new knowledge and skills have proven invaluable in giving confidence to talk to and help bereaved people.
