Sponsored jointly with Joanna Simpson Foundation
A representative from the UK's leading child bereavement service held seminars at the Isle of Man Hospice this week to help people deal with grief.
Di Stubbs from Winston's Wish, a charity which supports many thousands of children across the UK every year, mentored a training programme today (9 May) and yesterday (8 May), on invitation from a Manx abuse charity.
Sponsored jointly by the Joanna Simpson Foundation and the Hospice, the two-day workshop was attended by 44 individuals.
It focused on expressions of grief in children and aimed to provide participants with a 'toolkit of ideas' to better understand those in mourning.
Ms Stubbs emphasised the need for child beareavement support, by highlighting the Island's statistics:
Doctors accept three-year pay offer
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
