Print this pageWho we are
Jeremiah's Journey is made up of a team of individuals experienced in working with bereaved children and their parents or carers. We are able to provide information and support to children who have experienced or are anticipating the death of someone special to them. The main part of what we provide is a group programme for bereaved children and their families.
We are a Plymouth based service, covering the city of Plymouth and the immediate surrounding area.
The charity is run by a team of professionals that comprises of an Assistant Psychologist/Coordinator; Fundraiser/Administrator; two part time Clinical Psychologists; six trustees and together with volunteers from Health, Education and Social care, make up a multidisciplinary team who facilitate the group programmes.

Our History
Jeremiah's Journey was set up by four professionals in 1996. The service was informed by the work of Winston's Wish and we are continually incorporating new ideas from the bereavement literature. In particular we have been strongly influenced by the 'Continuing Bonds' theory (Klass, Silverman and Nickman, 1996) which argues that it is important to maintain a connection or bond with the person who has died. We are also familiar with the data from the Harvard Bereavement Study (Worden, 1996).
We gained registered charity status in 1999 (Registered Charity Number: 1078077).
