“This was exactly the sort of information we were looking for when we contacted you. The comments section was going off the hook with people stating that they’d found the session helpful and reassuring, even someone saying it had lessened their anxiety around this topic. The training was brilliant, I feel far more educated and up to speed in the bereavement space and I think a lot of our colleagues will benefit hugely from this” Department for Transport, Senior Policy Advisor

“Overall, we all found that the training made us think about how we might support patients more appropriately going forward and we gained so much knowledge and insight. We would highly recommend the training to other organisations” Link Worker, Social Prescribing
