Through the delivery of childhood grief training, we help to mitigate against the negative outcomes that can be disproportionately experienced by bereaved children and young people.

We have over ten years’ experience of providing support to bereaved children and young people, and of working alongside practitioners to support them to do the same.  Our training programme is flexible and includes:

Bespoke training for networks of practitioners such as family support workers, healthcare providers, school counsellors, teaching assistants, SENCOs, Headteachers and classroom teachers

Becoming a Bereavement Friendly School ‘twilight’ sessions (3 hours)

Our next ‘twilight’ training for schools is fully booked.  If you’d like to be notified when the next training date is confirmed please mail donnajames@balloonscharity.co.uk to express interest in our Twilight training

The aim of our training is to ensure that all practitioners can develop the skills and confidence to support grieving children and young people in their care.
