The Bereavement Support Group will run as a part of the Community Outreach Project to extend support for those who are bereaved in the community.
Our Bereavement Support group has been developed to offer a friendly safe space for those who have been bereaved.
There will be a range of activities as well as a chat over a cuppa.
We recognise that everyone’s journey through grief is unique and the support and care required for one will be different for another.
The Bereavement Support group is not counselling or therapy lead. If you feel as though bereavement counselling would be better suited to you or you would like to know more about our counselling service please do not hesitate to get in touch and visit our Bereavement Support page.
How to refer into the Community Outreach Services
Application to attend the support groups must be made by referral from professionals based in the community or via self-referral. Our Community Outreach Services will follow up with a short telephone assessment within 15 days of the referral.
