Course Lead: Andy Schwab, Specialist Palliative Care Social Worker

Course Content:

Death, dying and bereavement is a subject that many find challenging to think or talk about.  The complexities and distress caused can be perceived in a very different way for autistic people and provide a very different experience.

Attendance at this interactive workshop will help you to develop your knowledge and skills in supporting autistic people and bereavement. You will leave this workshop with a range of ways you can use in your practice when working with autistic people who are experiencing bereavement.

Refreshments will be provided.

Please note that  we are unable to provide refunds unless we can fill cancelled places with another delegate.
