Message from Anam Cara:
Bereavement Information Evening for bereaved parents.
All Anam Cara events are free and open to parents whose child or children have died, regardless of the age of their child, circumstances of their death, or time since bereavement.
This event will take place online on Tuesday 19 May at 7pm.
Our guest speaker this month is Niamh Finucane. Niamh is a Principal Social Worker with St Francis Hospice, working as the Bereavement Co-ordinator. She has worked in palliative care and bereavement for the past 20 years, supporting patients and their families navigate illness, and loss. She has extensive clinical experience working with and supporting families after the death of a loved one.
One of the main things we hear from parents who end up using our services is that they wish they knew about Anam Cara earlier. Almost 65% of these parents report using the Bereavement Information Evenings as a first point of contact. This is where your role as a trusted professional in your community really makes a difference to Anam Cara-- this is why we send you these emails.
Your signposting to these evenings can make all the difference in the life of a parent navigating the death of a child.
Bereaved parents are warmly invited to register for Anam Cara Online Bereavement Information Evening
