AnnotationWithin medium-sized sheltered housing schemes, there are likely to be five or six deaths in the course of a year. This workshop considered how grief can be managed within a small community. Speakers used their academic research and/or practice to describe approaches to death and its effect on staff and on the peer group; the ethnic dimension of death; and the behaviour of people affected by a death. Workshops sessions discussed problems that participants had personally faced and tried to resolve, leading to suggestions for good practice. (RH).
