At the Loss Foundation we are committed to changing the way society thinks about death and bereavement. We know how hard it can be to know the “right” thing to say when someone is bereaved. The fear of saying something “wrong” and upsetting the person often causes many of us to avoid the subject, or even the grieving person altogether.
We provide a range of training opportunities that range from helping people get more comfortable in supporting themselves and others in loss, to upskilling mental health professionals in delivering therapeutic interventions for those who are grieving.
All of the content is developed by Clinical Psychologists who specialise in bereavement support and involves sharing evidence-based psychological models of grief. All support is based on the feedback and needs evidenced by the wider public. We’ve been at the front line and we’re here to share what we’ve learned.
We offer expert guidance on bereavement support for mental health practitioners, companies, individuals and healthcare staff on how to handle delicate situations with the highest standard of care for use in the workplace, with patients or service users, and personally.
We offers 4 different content options depending on your training needs.
1. Live webinars are scheduled regularly on a variety of bereavement-related subjects and include a Q&A with a qualified clinical psychologist who will deliver all content.
2. Interactive workshops provide an in-depth experience and safe space to discuss confidential cases you may have and include practical case studies. These events are led by Dr Erin Thompson, Clinical Psychologist and Founder/Director of The Loss Foundation.
3. CPD recordings. This option allows you the flexibility to access The Loss Foundation’s expert knowledge in pre-recorded sessions whenever your schedule permits. Certificates are sent on request.

“The information regarding differing responses for differing states of grief and how everyone grieves in an individual way was extremely useful.”
“The most helpful part of the workshop was learning the immediate things to consider when speaking with an employee who has had a bereavement.”
“I learned a huge amount in a short workshop and found myself immediately being a bit kinder to myself and those around me”
Research has consistently shown that lack of support in the workplace when grieving can have many negative effects for companies. Productivity can be lowered following a loss, with difficulties in concentration and judgment, stress, depression, lack of motivation and substance abuse.Lack of concern, compassion and support can have drastic effects for the employee, employers and wider organisation. This can include absenteeism, errors and even financial consequences.
We are pleased to announce that The Loss Foundation is a full member of the CPD Certification service.
