National Bereaved Children’s Awareness week November 17th – 21st November 2025
Every November, the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network (ICBN) leads National Bereavement Month, organising events across Ireland to highlight the needs of bereaved children and providing a platform for their voices to be heard. This important initiative raises awareness of the impact of grief on children and promotes access to compassionate support. In alignment with this national effort, Rainbows Ireland will offer free bereavement workshops via Zoom throughout November, designed to support parents and caregivers in understanding and responding to children’s grief. These workshops reflect Rainbows Ireland’s mission to support children and young people to begin to adapt and adjust to their life without someone special.
