Loss & Change

Facilitated by Emilie Sandy and Dr. Neil Gibson in January 2021

During the lockdown, Emilie instigated an online workshop that involved people who had experienced the loss of a loved one during covid, the workshop was facilitated by Emilie and Dr. Neil Gibson who is a senior lecturer and the course leader for BA (Hons) Social Work and Pg Cert in Therapeutic Photography at Robert Gordon University, he is also a published author. The workshop’s structure was devised from Neil’s previous successful therapeutic photography sessions.

The workshop invited people who had experienced the loss of a loved one during the pandemic.

The purpose of the group was to use photography to explore loss and change, identity, improve self-efficacy, and empower group members. The group was delivered over six weeks. Each session had some theoretical input, followed by discussion and interactive exercises, and each week was spent looking at the products from the weekly tasks.
