Navigating Grief Isn’t Easy ~ Let’s Do It Together!
Grief affects every workplace—are you prepared to support your employees?
Our expert-led Workplace Grief Awareness Webinar Series helps businesses build empathy, resilience, and confidence in supporting grieving employees.
Through practical, legally informed training, including guidance aligned with the 2024 Suicide Postvention in the Workplace recommendations, we equip HR teams, managers, and business leaders with the skills to navigate grief in the workplace.
Helen, founder of The Flying Fish Company and a former mental health professional, knows first-hand how unprepared workplaces are when employees experience loss. Widowed at 24, she turned her experience into a mission—to ensure no employee grieves alone at work.
We help businesses navigate loss with confidence and compassion, ensuring managers and HR teams have the tools to support employees through grief while maintaining a resilient workforce.
What our clients are saying
“Helen delivered three very popular webinars on the topic of navigating bereavement, for our primary care professionals. She shared moving personal stories which really resonated with our audience, and delivered the sessions in a very sensitive, caring and honest way. Her webinars focussed on aspects of grief that many people lack confidence in, with a dedicated session for managers and one for staff too. They were incredibly thought-provoking sessions, and gave genuinely useful tools and techniques to use both in the workplace and in our personal lives”
