Our approach

We believe that bereavement support is more effective when we support both the child/young person and their parent or carer. We do this through our support group sessions. The children are supported in one room, and the parents are supported in a room nearby.

The children and their parents are in different rooms so that they can talk about difficult feelings more freely, as it is common for families not to want to share these for fear of upsetting one another. Bringing families together in our groups, lessens feelings of isolation and many go on to make lifelong friends.
