Branán Academy
Professional training in grief awareness and emotional safety
Branán Academy is the professional training arm of Branán Collective. We create practical training for people and organisations who support others through grief, loss and emotionally difficult situations.
Who Branán Academy Is For
Our training is designed for people working in healthcare, education, social care, community settings and leadership, as well as students aged 16 and over preparing for people-facing roles.
How the flagship course works
Training at Branán Academy is designed for real-world professional practice, not just theory.
Grief Awareness & Emotional Safety for Professionals is an on-demand, self-paced course with six modules and 12 CPD hours. It includes recorded teaching, practical examples, reflection activities and a Professional Integration Portfolio. Learners complete a final assessment with an 80% pass mark before receiving their certificate.
Learn to recognise grief beyond bereavement, respond to difficult conversations with greater care, and support someone without losing sight of your own role and wellbeing.
Bespoke Training for Organisations
When your team needs support that speaks to the situations they actually face.
Grief and difficult life changes show up differently in every workplace, school and care setting. We work with organisations to shape training around their people, roles and responsibilities.
Sessions can explore grief awareness, emotionally safe conversations, supporting someone through significant change, and returning to work after loss. The focus is on practical guidance your team can use with care and confidence.
In Development
Additional CPD training focused on professional judgement, responsibility, and decision-making in complex environments is currently in development.
