Supporting Families through Grief, Loss and Trauma -One Day Workshop

This one day workshop from Anam Cara will give front-line personnel a deeper insight into grief and trauma, the impact on family members going through the loss, how we can support and care for ourselves through the process.

If you support bereaved families through your line of work, we highly recommend this workshop.
