Accessing our service

We are here for families:

​

* Who have experienced a bereavement of someone significant to them;

* Who have children who are 18 or under;

* Who are seeking support for their grief;

* Where either the whole family, or at least one adult and one child in the family, want to receive bereavement counselling and support together.

​

​

Families will receive an initial zoom call, which forms a part of our assessment process and helps families to hear more about what we offer before deciding what they need.  We then offer 3 zoom or in person sessions (at their home) with the family, before inviting them to a Family Day, where they will meet a small number of other bereaved families for a day of therapeutic support. After these sessions we offer a closing session, at which time we will invite the family to stay in touch with our charity and develop a network of ongoing support from other bereaved families by attending our social events, we usually offer these social events for upto two years after families have attended a family day.

​

​

Please note:

​

Families who are very recently bereaved may be given some initial support with a slight pause before the sessions start, if their grief feels to raw to be able to engage in the sessions.
