People who are neurodivergent approach and experience the world differently to the neurotypical, and their experience of loss, bereavement and grief is very different too. If you are supporting someone who is neurodivergent, it is essential that you understand what grief might mean for them so you can tailor your support to meet their unique needs.

This course is designed to help you understand grief through a neurodivergent lens. Whether you are a professional supporting others, a friend or family member, or simply someone seeking a deeper awareness, you’ll gain insight into how cognitive differences, sensory processing, and social expectations can shape the experience of loss.

Together, we’ll explore how to recognise and honour diverse grieving styles, learn language to describe these experiences respectfully, and identify strategies for providing compassionate support.
You are also invited to our upcoming live event on Neurodivergence and Grief - Jan 7th 2026, 12pm GMT.

In this free 60 minute live training event, which will be held on Teams, you will get an overview of how grief impacts people, and how the experience of loss is experienced differently by neurodivergent individuals.
