About this course

Learning about loss in a care role

Managing Loss is a 30-minute course for staff supporting people through bereavement, loss or major life transitions. It considers different forms of loss and models of grief, alongside communication and person-centred support. The syllabus also includes the care worker’s own wellbeing.

The related Death and Dying course has a more specific end-of-life focus, including cultural and spiritual considerations and support for families. For a separate overview of mental health needs in later life, Mental Health in Older Adults covers a wider range of conditions and support topics.
