Grief Encounter
Here are a few words from Grief Encounter:
Our vision is to work towards a world where no child grieves alone.
Our Mission is to help bereaved children and young people and their families find hope and healing.
We know that everyone will experience and express grief in very different ways, so we have developed a range of services that support CYP to explore and share their own personal experience of grief. These interventions help CYP find words to express their loss while developing resilience and coping strategies.
We recognise that schools and local communities play an essential role helping CYPF heal following the loss of someone close, our team provide training and advice to enable the communities surrounding CYP to create a support network reducing feelings of isolation so often an aspect of grief.
Our services include:
- Resources including our unique Grief Relief Kit, each Grief Relief Kit contains a range of resources that help CYP understand and express their grief, while helping families and other supporting adults talk to CYP about their bereavement.
- Bereavement support session
- Group workshops
- Therapeutic interventions that include music, art and drama therapy
- Family Fun Days
- Our Grief Encounter support line, provides guidance and advice to grieving families, and referrers (weekdays 9:30 am - 3pm)
- Bespoke support for schools, universities and colleges
- Training courses and webinars for professionals
We are an open and accessible service funded by the generosity of our supporters, our team work hard to provide the most appropriate support for CYPF in a way that works for them.
