Cultures of grief: bereavement in young people’s worlds’ UK Childhood Bereavement Network Conference


How can we best support grieving children across different cultural backgrounds?
This is the question addressed by the UK Childhood Bereavement Networks one day seminar 'Cultures of grief: bereavement in young people's worlds' which takes place on Thursday May 2nd at the TUC congress Centre, London.
The conference will examine the ways in which culture impacts on children's grief  and assess the implications of culture for professionals and volunteers  supporting bereaved children and young people taking a wide ranging view examining how grief is represented in music, books, films and social media.
The conference would be beneficial to anyone working directly and indirectly supporting bereaved children in particular those working in the following settings; 
  • Bereavement support services
  • adult and children’s hospices
  • palliative care teams
  • children’s and early years organisations
  • schools, colleges and education services
  • Nursing and other health and social care services
  • police and other emergency services
  • other voluntary and statutory childcare organisations
  • faith and community groups supporting bereaved people
  • researchers in death and bereavement, childhood studies, cultural studies
