About Dawn

I trained in 2016 and qualified as an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist in 2020 - I am qualified to deliver all modalities of the GRM ( including the Pet Loss programme) though most of my work is 1:1 in person from my home in Hereford. I have supported many clients online internationally too. I also deliver the eye-opening Helping Children With Loss training, a must for anyone who cares for or works with children. Initially I trained as a CGRS to increase the support I could offer customers who commissioned Bespoke Cloth Keepsakes from me. Ever since my dear friend died back in 2009 I have been making these cherished pieces, that hold on to the treasured memories held within the cloth/clothes of a loved one. Previously my career was in teaching; I taught art at our local art college to students 17years plus between the years 2000-2011. During that time and since I have delivered additional Grief & Art Workshops in schools. I am a senior membership of ACCPH. As an artist (I have an art degree - BA Hons in Design Crafts) I love to express my own creativity and over the last few years I have frequently observed that within my work the essence of loss is encompassed somewhere. I still enjoy exhibiting. https://www.dawnford.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/dawnford_lossandwellbeing/ https://www.facebook.com/dawnfordlossandwellbeing https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-ford-a80b2a177/ Warmest Dawn

My Experience

This has helped me so much. I understand everything so much better and its made me a stronger person. I also feel anyone going through loss I could help them more now too without worrying I could say the wrong thing. Ive learnt so much about my self myself I had never heard of a “sterb” before doing this. Knowing its ok to cry and not try and hide it. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. All thanks to the program and Dawn

My Experience

I have walked away with deeper understanding of the types of losses that children can experience and how I am most able to help. There were a couple of areas of loss that I could not comprehend, where I wanted better understanding and compassion and this course has successfully achieved that.

My Experience

The content of The course was definitely an eye-opener for me! The content is both comprehensive and teaches real practical skills. It became apparent grief can affect someone greatly in different ways, not only due to death of a close one, but loss in general, which is something I’d never thought of before. This course would be tremendously beneficial to Children, and should be part of the national curriculum.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It has made me see things more clearly and openly. I now how important it is to be honest with your emotions and respect others.

My Experience

I wasn’t sure what to expect on the very first night, but I was amongst friends as all four of us work at the same school, Dawn was so lovely to talk to that before long it was like 5 friends chatting and she explained things very clearly and with such passion. I now have a deeper understanding of the term grief and look forward to using my new found understanding in the school with the children who need our help.
