Free Special Interest Group Monthly Talks
Share this post
Leeds Bereavement Forum run a number of Special Interest Groups for professionals working in bereavement. These groups give workers the opportunity to meet with other people involved with the same issues, to share information and skills, to keep up-to-date and to hear speakers, both local and national, on specific issues.
This year we have launched a series of free monthly lunchtime Special Interest Group talks covering different issues surrounding death, dying and loss. Speakers will cover a variety of subjects such as what happens to our digital legacy when we die, suicide and its effects on children, legal issues, the role of end of life doulas and lots more. Open to all we hope our free talks will be the perfect networking opportunity and a different place to eat your lunchtime sandwiches! The talks will normally be held on the last Wednesday of the month at Oxford Place Centre from midday until 1pm.
