| Course Content |
Loss is an inevitable part of the emergency frontline life. Handling the communication and supporting the grieving at this tragic time is a difficult task that many shy away from due to lack of training and understanding. Turning from a traumatic scene to holding a family member’s hand is a difficult task which requires great skill. This workshop sets out to equip emergency frontline staff with the skills, knowledge and best practice around grief, loss and managing traumatic stress. |

On completion of the workshop participants will be able to:
• define the terms grief, bereavement and mourning;
