Taking place across Scotland from 2-6 May, Demystifying Death Week is about shining a light on death, dying and bereavement in Scotland. We are encouraging people to get involved by holding online events that bring death, dying and bereavement into the limelight.
Below is a list of events registered so far - these pages will be updated over the coming weeks. If you are organising an event, please get in touch.
Organised by Child Bereavement UK. Tuesday 3 May 4 pm - 5 pm
In bereavement training, over 75% of education professionals tell us they worry that they will say the wrong thing, or feel they lack confidence when having conversations about death and grief with their pupils. The webinar investigates some of the challenges facing schools when they are managing a bereavement, responding to world events, or answering pupils’ questions. This session will provide information, strategies and resources to empower staff in school to feel more confident when managing bereavement within their school community.
