The Group Sessions

We use creative activities to encourage: the expression of feelings of grief; the sharing and acknowledgement of memories, both good and bad; and the exploration of ways of coping.

 

The primary school aged group is structured and is a mixture of group and individual activities. There is a high ratio of group facilitators to children offering the opportunity for the children to talk on a one to one basis with an adult.

The secondary school aged group is small and informal. The group members can choose which of the creative activities they do, there are lots of opportunities to talk as a group about issues that concern those present.

The small groups for parents and carers are a chance to meet other adults supporting bereaved children, and to discuss and share concerns about supporting children through grief.  They may also be an opportunity for the adults to reflect on their own experience.

Children we help

 

 

Beth aged 14 years came to a group programme after her dad had died suddenly and unexpectedly. She was having difficulty concentrating at school and felt that it was hard for others to understand how she was feeling. Her relationship with her dad hadn't always been easy and she was struggling with her guilt. At the group she met other young people who had experienced the death of someone significant to them. They shared their coping strategies with Beth. She began to realise that others had a similar mix of feelings as well as good and not so good memories. She felt less alone in her grief and found a new supportive network of friends.
