• Theories of grief and useful understanding
• It will offer resources and signpost sources of support and information 

• Its aim is to build your awareness and confidence 

There is no cost for the session. It builds on and complements IHF’s expertise and experience of similar work. The content has been designed specifically for artists and cultural organisations who may face the impact of covid. Facilitators Becs Lloyd and Dominic Campbell bring a wealth of experience to their role.
