Awareness in Bereavement Care Course

The Awareness in Bereavement Care course is for people who have an interest in supporting and caring for bereaved people; it is primarily intended for potential Cruse volunteers though other applicants will be considered if there is space.

The course develops basic counselling skills to be used in bereavement support work and is accredited by OCNW at Level 2.

A one-off Pre-training session - for people who have expressed an interest in volunteering with West Suffolk Cruse - on Saturday 16 October 2010 at 90 Risbygate St, Bury St Edmunds. 10 for 10.15 until 12 noon.

We are hoping to run our next Awareness in Bereavement Care course in the autumn of 2011. We know that this sounds a long way ahead to people who are interested in taking part, and so we would like to give you an opportunity to meet the training team and take part in a short session of bereavement focused activity to help fill the time gap. If you are booked on another ABC course by then, but still might like eventually to apply to the West Suffolk branch, do come along - as long as it does not conflict with your other training dates, of course. Please let us know if you are interested, and write the date in your diary.

The 2011 course will comprise 16 sessions and will take place at 90 Risbygate St, Bury St Edmunds. The dates are:

Essential first session Saturday 17th Sept 2011
Course finishes with an all day session on Saturday 10th Dec 2011.
There will also be a whole day session on Saturday 29th Oct 2011.

Sessions will take place every Thursday between the start and end dates above except 27th Oct 2011 and 8th Dec 2011.
