Why this matters for your teams
Nurses, care assistants, social workers and home-care staff meet grief every week: in a patient’s last days, in a family’s anger, in their own fatigue after a death. Few were trained for it, and fewer still for the ways families from other cultures mourn. These trainings give your teams words, landmarks and simple practices, so that they can accompany without being left alone with what they carry.
Topics
- Grief: welcoming, understanding, accompanying. The foundations of grief and bereavement, the many kinds of loss, how to be present without fixing. (Le(s) Deuil(s), 3 days.)
- End of life and death. Accompanying the dying and their families, the last days, rituals and what happens after death. Drawn from my training as a death doula.
- Grief across generations. Transgenerational transmission, the genogram, and frozen grief in the family tree. (New, in preparation.)
- Intercultural approaches to grief and death. How mourning, rituals, faith and family roles differ across cultures, with a focus on families from North Africa and the Middle East, and how institutions can make room for them.

How I teach
I was an English teacher before accompanying the grieving, and I still teach the way I learned to in a classroom: clear landmarks, real situations from the field, time to practise, and room for what the subject stirs up in participants. Each training includes [case studies, role plays, the genogram, reflection exercises].
Who I work with
I deliver trainings with four partner organisations, all Qualiopi-certified: Greta Centre-Val de Loire, Eurinfac, Ensemble Formations and Happy End. They send me into medical, medico-social and social institutions, and their certification means your training can be funded through the usual professional training budgets.

FAQ — Trainings and Workshops
1. Who are these trainings for?
These programs are designed for professionals in healthcare, social work, and funeral care, as well as therapists, psychologists, coaches, social workers, midwives, and others who accompany people through loss or transition.
They can also be adapted for institutions, associations, or teams wishing to open space for dialogue around grief, death, or life transitions.
2. Do I need prior experience in grief support?
No.
Some trainings are introductory, others more advanced.
Each session is tailored to the group’s level and field of practice — whether medical, social, or therapeutic.
3. What is the difference between a training and an awareness workshop?
Trainings (1 to 3 days) allow for deeper integration: grief theory, case reflection, posture, and symbolic or ritual tools.
Awareness workshops (2 to 4 hours) provide a gentle introduction: shared reflection, key insights, and collective discussion.
4. In what formats do you offer your programs?
Trainings can take place:
In person — within your organization or in Tours, France
Online (Zoom) — interactive and suitable for dispersed teams
As conferences — for professional events, institutions, or study days
5. How many participants per session?
Group sizes are intentionally limited to ensure quality and depth of exchange:
Trainings: 8–15 participants
Workshops: up to 25 participants
Conferences: according to venue and format
6. Can the content be customized?
Yes.
Each intervention is adapted to your needs, audience, and goals.
A short preliminary meeting (in person or online) helps define the duration, focus, and approach that best fit your context.
7. Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes.
Each participant receives a personalized certificate of attendance at the end of the training.
Both Happy End and Ensemble Formation are Qualiopi-accredited.
All trainings I deliver through these organizations are certified programs.
