Overview

Disenfranchised grief is a term describing grief that is not acknowledged or legitimised by society. It is not black-or-white, rather it is a relative and subjective experience. It can range dramatically from person to person and community to community.

This webinar will help you better understand disenfranchised grief and support the growing number of people that it affects. It will provide valuable tools and information for any social services or healthcare professional working in any form of support or therapeutic role.
