Do you know anybody who would be interested in accessing a free training programme which will guide people through the process of setting up their own bereavement peer-support group?...

The training is FREE to anybody living or working in Bristol, North Somerset or South Glos.

The training is based on the successful model of the STAR (Share, Talk and Remember) bereavement peer-support group in Stockwood in Bristol which provides free support for people grieving from a bereavement or difficult transition in their life.

The training will embed the core principles of the original STAR group model and ultimately help to create a network of STAR bereavement peer-support groups which are self-sustaining, have strong foundations and are led by local residents.

The course is particularly aimed at local residents who are interested in setting up a bereavement peer-support group in their local neighbourhood and community workers who can support them with this. Please do share this information with anyone who may be interested.

Here are the start dates for the STAR Training the Trainers Course, which is delivered via Zoom, and consists of 4 modules each delivered as a 2-hour workshop over a four-week period. (same time each week for 4 weeks):

• Wednesday 5th July, 10am-12noon (ends on 26th July)

• Thursday 6th July, 6pm-8pm (ends on 27th July)
