IHF Resources & Information to Support People Who are Bereaved
We believe support in grief should be available for all who need it. Being there for those who are grieving and understanding their needs is a key pillar of our work. As a national leader in the development of bereavement care, we have a range of bereavement supports available including the Bereavement Support Line, resources on bereaved.ie as well as working in collaboration with bereavement care providers and providing training for individuals, families, communities and workplaces.
Bereavement Support Line A national freephone service – 1800 80 70 77, set up by Irish Hospice Foundation, in partnership with the HSE, that provides a safe space for those who have lost a loved one, friend or colleague, to talk about their loss and grief. Available Monday to Friday 10am to 1pm. People can also visit www.bereaved.ie for more information on coping with bereavement and finding supports. Grief in the Workplace We provide support, training, resources and advice to help organisations and managers to respond effectively to grief situations that can arise in the workplace. We offer a range of interactive courses which focus on coping with grief in the workplace. See www.hospicefoundation.ie Irish Childhood Bereavement Network (ICBN) ICBN supports professionals to deliver quality and accessible support to children who are bereaved. The ICBN signposts loved ones to a directory of bereavement support services. It also advocates for bereaved children and young people, and those supporting them. See www.childhoodbereavement.ie Education We work with staff in a variety of settings to support and embed education and training in end-of-life and bereavement care. From our MSc in Loss & Bereavement, Grief in the Workplace, to our bereavement workshops, there is a wide spectrum of training to choose from. See www.hospicefoundation.ie
