General Comments
Courses in Bereavement Counselling are best not undertaken by
people who have experienced the death of someone close to them
in the previous twelve months. The courses are skills focused
and do not provide therapy.
All courses are from 9.30am to 4.30pm. It is
important that participants attend all sessions so that group
dynamics are not disrupted by absences.
Light lunch, morning and afternoon tea provided. Special diets
not catered for.
