About PABBS training
The development of the PABBS training was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) Programme (PB-PG-0110-21047) and led by Dr. Sharon McDonnell based at the University of Manchester. The training is evidence-based theory-driven and has been informed by a three year study which identified the vulnerability and perceived needs of parents bereaved by suicide and health professionals who were responsible for their care. It is a highly interactive one day workshop and includes a workbook, nine film clips and a 60 page manual for future reference. Eighteen people are able to attend each workshop. This training is first of its kind internationally.
