Anam Cara - Supporting Parents after the Loss of a Child
Contact Numbers 01 2958567 / 085 2888 888
Anam Cara is facilitating their first Professional Bereavement event in Galway City on Tuesday 10th November 2009 at the Calton Hotel, Galway City, (formerly known as Day’s Hotel)
This event is open to all bereaved parents. At Anam Cara we don’t identify ourselves by the age of our child, how they died or when they died. It may have been a cot death or a still birth, suicide, Road Traffic Accident, Serious illness. We identify ourselves as parents who have lost a precious son or daughter, trying to find our way through our grief and pain.
The guest Speaker for the evening is Nuala Harmey, her talk will cover “Understanding and helping Children cope with the loss of a brother or sister".
Nuala is a bereavement consultant with a particular interest in sibling bereavement. As a senior social worker for many years in the Children’s University Hospital Temple St she helped establish the bereavement service there and now provides consultancy services to the hospital, specifically in the area of training staff to work with bereaved children and their parents.
Nuala facilitates workshops on the Children and Loss certificate course in the Irish Hospice Foundation and also on their H.Dip In Bereavement programme.
She is involved as a special advisor to the Hospice Friendly Hospitals programme. However Children and Loss remain her primary focus.
