As part of my ongoing commitment to supporting the funeral sector and those who work closely with bereaved people, I want to make the Intentional Grief Course freely available to professionals whose work places them alongside loss every day.

Making this course available to professionals is intended as a way to support those who hold space for others while often carrying unseen emotional weight themselves.

Free access is available to professionals who regularly work with bereaved individuals and families, including (but not limited to):

• Funeral directors, arrangers, funeral operatives and other backroom staff

• Bereavement counsellors and support workers

• Celebrants and ministers of religion

• Solicitors and legal professionals working with death, probate, or divorce

• Healthcare professionals and hospice staff

• Social workers and homelessness services

• Charity staff and volunteers supporting people through loss

What is the ‘Intentional grief course’?

The Intentional Grief Course offers a grounded, accessible understanding of grief, drawing on established grief models, over 20 years of professional and lived experience, and practical evidence-based tools. It is designed to support a healthier grief journey, both for the people you serve and for yourself. This course is applicable to a variety of grief experiences such as death, divorce, loss of work, unexpected change in circumstances and more.

This access is offered in recognition of the emotional labour involved in grief-facing work, and with gratitude for the care, professionalism, and compassion shown across a variety of professions. This course is available for non-professionals who are grieving to purchase for £49.99.

If you work in a role that regularly brings you into contact with bereavement and feel like might benefit from processing your own grief experience, you are warmly invited to make use of this course.
