The Bereavement and Grief Level 5 Training course consists of eight structured lectures, followed by an assessment, each addressing a key dimension of bereavement and grief knowledge and professional awareness.

The course begins with an introduction to bereavement and grief, exploring definitions, key concepts, and theoretical perspectives that help explain responses to loss. Psychological and emotional dimensions of grief examine common emotional reactions, cognitive processes, and behavioural responses associated with bereavement.

Social and cultural aspects of bereavement explore how family structures, community support, belief systems, and cultural practices shape experiences of grief and mourning. Learners gain insight into respecting diversity and understanding culturally informed responses to loss.

Practical approaches to grief counselling are explored from an awareness-based perspective, focusing on communication principles, listening skills, boundaries, and supportive interaction rather than therapeutic practice. Special populations and bereavement examine how grief may affect children, older adults, individuals with additional needs, and those experiencing complex or multiple losses.

Contemporary issues in grief and bereavement explore topics such as prolonged grief, digital mourning, societal change, and the impact of global events on bereavement experiences. Research and practical application introduce learners to research-informed understanding and how evidence supports reflective practice.

Professional development and reflective practice focus on ethical awareness, self-care, professional boundaries, and reflective learning for those engaging with bereavement and grief in support-based roles.
