Most grief support does not need to be clinical to be helpful. We help workplaces avoid a defining silence, but not each other.
Grief leaves no visible mark, yet its hidden toll affects every workplace. Equip your people with the skills to recognise, support, and respond when it matters most.
When underperformance is really unspoken grief, leaders need the skills to see it. Learn how to recognise the signs, respond safely, and support your people well.
Grief First Aid builds practical, people‑focused skills for responding to grief at work. Our programs support individuals, workplaces, and instructors with clear skills, boundaries, and pathways that strengthen psychological safety and workplace culture.
Learn simple, compassionate ways to support someone after a loss – without needing clinical training. Our public courses give you clear guidance, practical conversation skills and the confidence to show up safely when grief affects the people you care about.
Equip teams and managers with the skills to respond to grief confidently and consistently. Our workplace programs align with psychosocial safety, strengthen culture and retention, and give participants clear boundaries, scripts, and referral pathways for real‑world moments.
Expand your practice with a quality‑assured, accredited workplace‑ready program. Licensed Instructors gain access to curriculum, resources, brand assets and marketing support, enabling you to deliver impactful training that meets the growing demand for grief‑literate workplaces.
Every year, in Australian workplaces, thousands of employees navigate loss while trying to maintain their professional responsibilities. Identifying and understanding grief matters because no one should feel misunderstood or pretend that they’re fine just to get through the workday.
Our programs are grounded in real workplace experiences, centring presence, empathy, and practical action. We teach people to respond with calm, clarity, and respect – grounded in practical guidance and evidence-based principles.
Grief First Aid strengthens psychosocial safety by equipping workplaces to respond effectively to stressors that may impact wellbeing, such as excessive demands, inadequate support or challenging interactions, helping employees feel safe, understood and supported.
Developed from contemporary grief research, informed by a global Delphi consensus and guided by an advisory committee, Grief First Aid integrates practical tools with robust, evidence-informed guidance. Participants gain a clear understanding of what supports healthy responses to grief, what may cause harm, and how to respond confidently in real-world workplace situations.
The experience I had with grief in the workplace was one of isolation and people not understanding what was happening. My work deteriorated, my role in the team wasn’t what it had been, and that shaped me as a future leader – leading with compassion, understanding you get work done through people and recognising the many tools available to support them.
I just wanted to send a personal thank you to you and your organisation for such a wonderful workplace program. I watched Anna’s grief story and related deeply, having lost my mother to dementia and my husband to cancer. I experienced the isolation and pain of grief, and my workplace fell flat in supporting me. Please keep up the good work!
Imagine silence being met by gentle curiosity and steady support.
