Enhance the support you give to bereaved pet owners by gaining an accredited certificate in pet bereavement support awarded by NCFE. Through running our pet bereavement helpline for over 20 years we have experience of supporting pet owners and we'd like to share it with you.
This e-learning course will give you the skills you need and counts towards 32 hours continued professional development (CPD). The length of the course is eight weeks. You will work though one module per week which is roughly three – four hours per week.
This course has been designed for anyone wishing to gain more knowledge and experience in supporting bereaved pet owners. It is particularly helpful for anyone wishing to become a support volunteer for Blue Cross, vet nurses and counsellors. Please be aware that this is not a counselling qualification but you will use counselling skills.
The course will cover these topics in depth giving you the skills to support owners and yourself:
Pet loss experience
Self care
Emotional support skills
Stages of grief
Pet euthanasia
Remembrance and rituals
Grief in surviving pets
The loss of assistance animals
One of the bonuses of studying with Blue Cross is that the your course fee helps us to help more pets and their owners.

The Speakers
At Blue Cross we understand the value of pets in our lives and the huge loss when they are no longer with us; a pet is like a member of the family, and for some people, their only family. That's why we provide the Pet Bereavement Support Service for those struggling to cope with the loss of a much-loved pet.<br /> <br /> Our charity was started in 1897 and offers rehoming, clinical and education services in the UK. We help thousands of pets and their owners each year.
