Wave After Wave Suicide Bereavement Training

Health and Social Care

The aim of the Wave After Wave Bereavement workshop is to ensure that all staff, peer supporters, and volunteers coming into contact with people bereaved by suicide have an understanding of the complex nature and impact of a suicide bereavement and are able to provide a compassionate and sympathetic response whilst also being aware of the impact of their work on their own wellbeing.

Learning outcomes 

By the end of the session, participants will have a greater knowledge and understanding of:

  • The grieving process and impact of suicide bereavement
  • Providing a compassionate response to suicide bereavement
  • The impact of working with suicide bereavement on staff and strategies to manage wellbeing
  • Resources and support for suicide bereavement
