Understanding grief, loss and setback in everyday life

This session is part of the psychosocial resources for personal wellbeing and professional competence series and looks at understanding grief, loss and setback in everyday life.

Description:

There have been many changes and potentially many losses or setbacks over the past three years alone. This in-person session introduces models that can help us become self-aware about what happens when we experience grief, loss or personal or professional setbacks and how our bodies and perceptions may be affected. You will be encouraged to recognise your own processes for loss and saying goodbye in these professional or personal settings. An opportunity to reflect upon a wide range of grief, loss and set back experiences and consider how a compassionate approach can help and support our wellbeing in these ongoing challenging times.

This session will be delivered face-to-face on campus
