Workplace Grief Awareness Series
Welcome to the Workplace Grief Awareness Series, a collection of six impactful training packages designed to transform how workplaces support employees through grief and loss. Each session is meticulously researched, written and delivered live by me, Helen—a passionate advocate for bringing hope to dark places.
These courses, offered in various lengths to suit your needs, provide actionable insights and compassionate guidance.
One of our most in-demand sessions, The Ripple Effect, is aligned with The Society of Occupational Medicine’s 2024 guidance on suicide postvention in the workplace, offering support that reflects current best practice. Read full guidance here.
Most organisations begin with our 1-hour introductory course before exploring more specialist sessions. Explore each course below to find the right fit for your team, or contact me to discuss your needs.

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”
