Dying for a Cuppa

The Masterclass

Ⓡ

A CPD ACCREDITED Death education from a human perspective; to help and educate us to support the dying, to learn all about what dying looks like and to understand the dying process. 

'Dying for a Cuppa'  started out as a death cafe style community offering in 2019. A space to talk and share openly, about all things death and dying, with a cuppa and cake. Thanks to the craziness of 2020, I took these sessions online to Facebook and it became an open forum to share honest information, valuable insight and real life truth about Death, Dying and Funerals.

 

It was obvious how beneficial and appreciated these sessions were.

So many people needed and wanted to learn and understand, both personally and professionally. I put all my years experiences, knowledge, learning and training into one Masterclass for anyone and everyone to get their own death education in

Face to Face and Online
Death Education
for your business

Not all Funeral Professionals have witnessed the dying process.

Not all Nursing Homes know how to be 'present' when someone dies.

Not all Hospice staff can have the conversations.

Not all hospital wards can recognise when someone starts to actively die.

Not all health care professionals can talk about death

Not all Care Agencies/Carers know what to do when a person becomes less well​

But they can and they should. For them, and everyone they support.

The CPD accredited Masterclass has been designed to translate into face to face/live online training.

 

All content is delivered by me personally - in person or via Zoom, in an interactive, motivational, energetic and empowering 6 hour workshop.

 

All complete with printed workbooks, extra handouts and formal CPD Certificates. 

​

This can also be broken down into smaller modules if this supports your business and teams needs. 

​

Whether you would want one 'End of Life Champion' in your organisation, or to train all your people in every branch, we can ensure your teams are educated, supported and equipped with the tools both personally and professionally to support the living, dying and bereaved.

You can invest in your teams to support and empower them both personally and professionally, and why wouldn't you given the emotive nature of death and funeral care?

 

Why would you not wanyour teams to be expert?

​

Your business/company/team then provides a higher level of care, compassionate expertise, and increased awareness to everyone they support.

​

Every day really is a school day when it comes to supporting the dying. We are all so unique. Each of us is one of a kind.

​

This is the only accredited death education course of its kind.
