Online Short Course Overview: Providing Effective Bereavement Support

When working with the bereaved it is important to recognise and understand the broad range of grief reactions and responses. Grief counselling and support is a specialised area which requires responses and strategies which can be tailored to each individual’s needs. 

This online short course is designed for anyone wanting to broaden their understanding and deepen their knowledge of how to be in this space with the bereaved. Participants will identify a range of skills and strategies appropriate for working with grieving people.

Course Modules: at the Conclusion of this Online Short Course, participants should be able to:

• Be aware of common grief responses
• Identify and describe some theoretical perspectives and useful models
• Recognise the needs of grieving people
• Identify and implement effective strategies to support grieving individuals

Course Structure:

The structure of this online short course is self-paced learning.

Within the course, you will find four pre-recorded modules that go for roughly 40 minutes to an hour each.
These are to be watched in your own time within the four-week period.
 
The only set time which forms part of the course is the one-hour live Zoom Q&A in the last week of the course.
The timing of this will be provided upon course commencement.
 
More information including your login for LearnBook (online course platform) will be sent a few days prior to the course starting.
You will then have access to the platform, so you can make yourself familiar with it, ready for the modules to launch on the course commencement date.

Whilst no formal assessment is required to complete the course, students will be required to score an average of 80% or above in the multiple-choice quizzes to receive a certificate of completion to claim the 10 OPD points offered by the ACA.
