Grief is a natural response to the death of someone close. It is a deeply personal experience that varies widely from person to person. A person’s experience of grief is influenced by many things, such as the relationship with the deceased, the circumstances of their death, and a person’s support system, among many other factors. Many people, although painful, will cope with loss with support from their family and friends. For lots of different reasons, some will need additional support to cope from people outside their social network. Understanding grief and learning how to navigate it can be helpful not only for those directly experiencing loss but also for those supporting them. National Grief Awareness Week 2025 is taking place 27 January - 02 February. Through National Grief Awareness Week, we hope to encourage a more open, supportive, and understanding approach to grief—helping both the bereaved and those around them navigate this challenging part of life with greater empathy. This promotion pack includes all our NGAW 2025 promotional assets and some suggestions about how you can get involved in this campaign. Visit our NGAW 2025 webpage for more information about events we’re hosting throughout the week.

SAOR Screening and Brief Intervention for Problem Alcohol and Substance Use (2017)¹ is a step-by-step guide for practice developed in response to problem alcohol and other drug use. The model can be used in a wide variety of settings, including community, statutory, voluntary, justice and education services. By following this model, many professionals and volunteers have been given the confidence and competence to screen for problem alcohol and drug use and either engage in a brief intervention or refer to specialist services if necessary.

SAOR training is delivered in a 90 minute eLearning module followed by a 1-day skills based workshop delivered live online. SAOR training is FREE.

This is a significant milestone as we launch the first full-day not-for-profit childcare service in Cavan Town. In addition to quality childcare, CCLD will also be offering community development activities from the centre, supporting families and promoting positive social inclusion.

We would be delighted if you could join us for a coffee to see your new facility and share our vision for families, children, and the wider community.
