We offer various training and education sessions. These sessions are offered free of charge and form part of TJ Andrews community services. Please see below for more information.
a) Change, Loss and Grief
These sessions are held over two days and are designed to enhance existing skills of people whose work brings them in contact with dying, death and bereavement. It will help to develop a greater understanding of Loss and Grief and enhance effective communication skills. This course affords the participant the opportunity to look at their accumulated life losses and develop effective ways of providing support.
In these sessions the differences of personal grief responses, family systems, religious beliefs and cultural attitudes will be examined. Also the different issues of the dying person and those of the family members will be discussed.
An opportunity will be given for you to put into practice your new knowledge to enhance your ability to provide care and support in your professional role. Also it will offer ideas for self-care and other resources within your community.
