Call Directions Website

Children's Bereavement Centre The Children's Bereavement Centre provides a free service to children (3-18) who experience a loss
(1)

We offer the following support to children and families at the centre:
Bereavement Support-Bereavement support enables children to talk about their anxieties and feelings to allow them to normalise their grief. They are encouraged to compile a memory/feelings book and undertake individual support in a safe non-threatening environment in order to understand how they feel and to come to terms with their loss. Terminal Illness, Pre-Bereavement Support-Support and advice can be provided to families to help them talk to their children following a terminal diagnosis. We also provide individual support sessions to help children and young people explore and express their thoughts and feelings about the many changes brought abut by this news. Play Therapy-To a child, the loss of a beloved parent or family member can be a devastating event. A child's sense of security is shattered and their world becomes a scary and unsafe place. Play therapy provides the child with a safe, secure and accepting environment in which to explore these painful events through the natural medium of play. Filial Therapy-Filial therapy integrates family therapy and play therapy in order to address child and family problems. Support For Schools-We provide advice, guidance and practical support following the death of a pupil or staff member. Peer Support Group-The aim of the group is to create an environment for young people between the ages of 12 and 18 where they feel safe enough to share their experiences of loss with each other whilst also enjoying activities and workshops. Bereavement Camp-The 2 day camp is for children and young people between 6 and 18 where they take part in both creative, adventurous and therapeutic activities. This helps them to build confidence and self-esteem whilst sharing their feelings with others, therefore feeling less isolated. Workshops and Activities-Children need to understand they are not alone during their grieving. They can play, be creative and have fun with others who understand how they are feeling.
