Those working directly with people bereaved by suicide always want to say the ‘right’ thing, but often worry about getting it wrong. This evidence and practiceinformed module is delivered by trainers who have vast experience of working closely with those bereaved by suicide and will offer practical examples of what to say, how to say it and why. https://suicidebereavementuk.com/online-modules/

About the module (Level 2) - Many professionals when faced with someone who has been impacted by suicide feel powerless in how to effectively work with them. One reason is that people bereaved/affected in this way do not fit into clinical diagnostic criteria such as ICD10 or DSM V. The ‘Grief Map’ developed by Dr Sheila Clark (2001), a GP from Adelaide, Australia, offers a practical model to help us understand what problems/challenges exist when a person is bereaved in this way and how they may be addressed. The model is valuable for both the practitioner and person bereaved by suicide. This online training module explains how to implement the Grief Map model using practice-based examples from a clinician experienced in using it.

About the Module - In the difficult circumstances that surround a suicide there is often not time or head-space to think about any children in the family. Adults are often unsure what to say to children and struggle to find helpful words to talk about suicide with a child. Families have an understandable wish to protect their children from difficult things, which can lead to them avoiding conversations that a child needs in order to process what has happened. This module will compliment the module ‘Language and Suicide Bereavement’, where the focus is on adults.
