Our workshops
Our workshops have been designed for KS2, KS3 and 16+ students and can be tailored to your schools or communities needs. During the workshop they will be guided through the design process to create emotional health resources for their setting, nurture their inner strengths, build empathy, and gain the confidence to handle tough emotions and life situations.

How it works
We offer a holistic approach to grief education and bereavement support for schools, colleges, universities and community settings. If you partner with us, this is the approach you can expect
Consultation
We will work with you, your team and community to identify specific needs of your setting and your young people, so that we can deliver the activities that best suited to your needs.
Workshop delivery
We will deliver a programme of workshops based on the needs of your setting as uncovered during our consultation with you.
Support and training
We offer our grief awareness workshops for educators as part of this service to provide your team with the tools they need to support grieving students. You'll also have access to our brand new resource hub (Launching early 2025), and you'll be the first to receive updates and training as it becomes available.
Peer to peer support
We are building a community of young people and training them to be grief allies and advocates, so that they can offer peer support in their community.
