Bereavement23

At the NES Bereavement Workshop, 14 June 2023, we will hold breakout sessions where participants in small groups will look at potential content (poetry/art/writing/film/music) for this site with a broad theme of bereavement. The aim is to find pieces that could be useful to the bereaved, or to staff working with the bereaved. The output from these sessions will appear below later. Shortcut to this page: bit.ly/bereav23
