The Irish Hospice Foundation would like to invite you to our annual bereavement information evening Living with Loss.

We know the past few years have been difficult and isolating and we want to provide connection and solace for all those grieving. So, whether you have experienced a bereavement this year or at an earlier time, or you are concerned about a child or friend who is grieving and wish to help, we encourage you to attend. We will share some reflections on bereavement and give information on the supports that are available.

The ISPCC are delighted to share with you information regarding their upcoming FREE online Mindfulness Workshops for primary school children, one for Junior – 2nd class and the second workshop for 3rd – 6th class.

The workshops are fun, and an engaging educational experience tailored for primary school students. It aims to inspire creativity, foster curiosity, and encourage critical thinking. Each session is designed to be interactive and age-appropriate, ensuring students are actively involved and enjoy learning as well as bringing them back to the moment.

Key Takeaways: Junior Infants – 2nd Class

1. Awareness of the Present Moment: Students will explore simple, playful ways to focus their attention on the present using breathing and sensory activities.
2. Connecting with Their Bodies: Through fun and engaging exercises, children will learn to notice physical sensations and use their bodies as anchors for mindfulness.
3. Emotional Regulation: Stories and interactive exercises will help children recognize and name their feelings, developing early tools for emotional awareness.

Key Takeaways: 3rd – 6th Class

1. Mindful Focus and Resilience: Students will practice techniques to manage distractions, build resilience, and approach challenges with calm and focus.
2. Connecting Mind and Body: Activities will teach students to tune into their bodies, promoting self-awareness and a sense of balance.
3. Empathy and Connection: Reflection exercises will encourage kindness, empathy, and a deeper sense of community.
