The whole team knows how to involve children in dying and farewell.
Online training for funeral homes and palliative care organisations. One approach for every colleague, from 5 participants, with your own group leader.
More than 400 teams trained in 7+ countries. Since 1999 I have worked with children, young people and families in grief and loss.
One colleague who knows is not enough
In most teams, one colleague knows how to deal with a child who loses a parent, and the rest improvise. What a family experiences then depends on the moment: who picks up the phone, who guides the funeral, who is on duty that day.
An eight-year-old asks how a cremation works. A teenager wants to be at the coffin, or precisely not. Without something to hold on to, colleagues often say: better not. But children belong: they have a right to the truth, explanations at their level and a place in the farewell.
One employee on a course does not change that. A team that shares the same approach does.
What the team can do afterwards
After the four basic courses, every colleague can speak honestly and at the right level to a child or family, and the team knows when and how children are involved in a farewell. The package includes:
| Course | What it is about |
|---|---|
| Involving children in grief, funerals and loss | Informing children honestly and involving them in illness, dying, farewell and funeral |
| Conducting children’s funerals | The practice of a funeral for a child |
| Funeral toys in practice | Using funeral toys in conversations and at farewell |
| Ambiguous loss & domestic violence | Recognising loss where no one has died, including in domestic violence |

- You become group leader of your own group, with as many places as you bought.

For Team Live + Online you send a request. We schedule the day, and you provide names and email addresses.
