Sponsored jointly with Joanna Simpson Foundation
A representative from the UK's leading child bereavement service held seminars at the Isle of Man Hospice this week to help people deal with grief.
Di Stubbs from Winston's Wish, a charity which supports many thousands of children across the UK every year, mentored a training programme today (9 May) and yesterday (8 May), on invitation from a Manx abuse charity.
Sponsored jointly by the Joanna Simpson Foundation and the Hospice, the two-day workshop was attended by 44 individuals.
It focused on expressions of grief in children and aimed to provide participants with a 'toolkit of ideas' to better understand those in mourning.
Ms Stubbs emphasised the need for child beareavement support, by highlighting the Island's statistics:
Southern 100 planning to run classic sidecars for 2026
BMA to ballot doctors in the IOM for industrial action
Manx air quality 'significantly' better than UK average
Visitors told "take extra care" as TT Fan Park to reopen
Sidecars have 'been my life' says Lambert
