The Importance of Bereavement Support in the Workplace
Workplace Bereavement Support
In the wake of a loss, grief doesn’t pause at the office door. At The Bereavement Café, we understand how deeply bereavement can affect an individual’s work life. We offer dedicated services tailored to support businesses in facilitating a compassionate and understanding environment for bereaved employees.

As part of your company’s wellbeing strategy, our Bereavement Café can play a crucial role. We provide a space that acknowledges the hardships staff members may face while coping with bereavement. By integrating our services into your approach, you demonstrate an invaluable commitment to employee wellbeing, supporting them during challenging times.
Occupational Health and Bereavement
Our expertise extends to providing guidance for Occupational Health teams, giving them the tools and understanding to better support bereaved colleagues. Our training programs, workshops, and Twilight Grief Awareness Sessions, along with other specialised packages, arm your teams with the necessary skills to assist employees experiencing loss.
1-on-1 Support for Bereaved Staff
When a staff member returns to work following a close bereavement, the transition can be difficult. We offer one-on-one support, providing a safe space to share, explore feelings, and gain comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone. Our approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring they receive the care and support they need.

The Bereavement Café’s mission goes beyond immediate support. We aim to help businesses foster a culture of empathy and understanding, where staff members feel heard and supported not just in their professional journey but also during personal hardships. Our support and training services will help your workplace become a pillar of strength for employees navigating the path of grief.
