In addition to keynotes, I frequently deliver PD workshops for a range of professionals, predominantly, teachers, counsellors and others in caring and support roles - those who work with or support adults or children affected by suicide, and/or grief, in general.

I also frequently deliver community-organised workshops for parents on supporting their grieving children.

Much of my education and training focuses on my research with grieving children, from which I developed the mattering-reinforcing approach to care and support.

“Shelley is an excellent facilitator - very professional, open and approachable. I learnt so much. She made all of us feel as though we were important and that our experiences and stories were important."
