How we work
The death or serious illness of someone close can have a devastating effect on a child or young person. With the right support and information however, children and young people can be helped to understand what has happened and learn to move forward in a positive way.
All of our team approach our work in a flexible, child-led way. This ensures a bespoke response to each young person. Children and young people that are referred to us will be dealing with a range of issues, including anger, guilt, grief, isolation and relationship struggles and our team are skilled at dealing with these types of behaviours.
As a small charity our services are often in high demand. The following structure has been put in place to allow us to offer support that best meets the needs of the families that are referred to us. This means our service will have greater capacity to continue working with children and young people who require our support.

Tailored Provision (children and young people who are bereaved or facing the bereavement of a parent or sibling) –
A dedicated member of our service team will provide telephone support to families and individual 1:1 sessions to children and young people as appropriate. Families are also able to access group support.
Targeted Provision (cases that require a level of therapeutic inter-vention)
Families will be able to access appropriate group support—they will have one visit from a practitioner before this to help prepare them. They can also access telephone support from one of our team.

We will provide telephone support—usually for a parent/carer or specific professional involved with the family.
