What We Do
At Jeremiah's Journey we are a small team of friendly individuals who work together to provide the best support that we can for our families. For bereaved children and their families, the main part of our service is to run a short term therapeutic group programme. We like to meet with our families initially to ensure that we are able to meet their needs.

Initial Meeting

Each family is offered an initial visit from one or two members of the team.

Children we help

 

Tom, aged 6, knew his daddy was poorly. One day he returned home from school to be told that daddy had died. Tom found it hard to understand what had happened to his dad. in the following weeks his teacher noticed that he was more angry than usual and fighting with his classmates. Tom came to a group and through meeting other children who had experienced something similar felt less alone. He also found a way to express his feelings which helped with his anger.
