The Guest Speaker Program
Guest Speakers are available to talk about Grief to Your Workplace or Community Group
Grief is one of life’s toughest challenges, and when an employee, colleague, or community member experiences loss, it impacts those around them. Many people want to offer support but often feel unsure of what to say or do, leaving the bereaved feeling even more isolated.
That’s where The Compassionate Friends Victoria (TCFV) can help. Our experienced guest speakers—who have all walked their own journey of grief—offer tailored education sessions designed to foster understanding, empathy, and resilience.
Our Sessions Can Cover: (All sessions can be modified to suit your organisation)
How Grief Works – Understanding the grieving process and its impact
Worklife After Loss – Navigating grief in a professional setting
Finding Glimmers Through Triggers – Supporting emotional well-being after loss
The Compassionate Friends Victoria – Support and services and how we can help
