Bereavement Care Awareness Online – 20 September 2025

Bereavement Care Awareness training has been produced as part of Care for the Family’s bereavement training for churches. It is useful for clergy, church leaders, pastoral care leaders or any volunteer interested in supporting bereaved people – whether they are already engaged in bereavement support or are considering the possibility of developing it.

The training will be conducted using Zoom. If you have not used Zoom before, you will be prompted to download the software onto your PC, and this can take a few minutes, so you should ideally do this before the meeting.

The workshop is interactive and is designed to equip and empower people and churches in supporting those who have been bereaved. There will be PowerPoint presentations, teaching and group work in breakout rooms. Therefore, for the best experience it is advisable to access the training via a laptop or PC.

A delegate workbook containing the exercises and activities will be sent to you prior to the training. You will need to print this out so you can write down your thoughts and ideas during the training. Alternatively, you could open on an additional device prior to the training.

A comprehensive delegate handbook will be sent to you after the training via a link to a dedicated delegate webpage which you will be able to download and keep for reference.
