Grief Encounter

Grief Encounter is here to help with the confusion, fear, loneliness and pain, providing a lifeline to children and young people to cope with free, immediate, one-to-one support. Grief is not an easy subject to talk about or deal with internally. There really are no rules on how you are supposed to behave or get through this difficult time; however, there are several ways that this tragic time can be made easier for everyone involved.

 

Our mission

To give every child and young person access to the best possible support following the death of someone close.

We work closely with individuals, families, schools and professionals to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief.

Our services include:

  • One-to-one counselling
  • Group workshops
  • Music, art and drama therapy
  • Residentials and Family Fun Days
  • A National, free and confidential helpline called grieftalk offers webchat service too
  • Bespoke support for schools, universities and colleges
  • A dedicated Trauma Team for support following a sudden or traumatic bereavement.
  • Accredited training courses and webinars for professionals
  • Award-winning resources including our unique Grief Relief Kit, Grief Encounter Workbook and Journal

 

We are an open-access charity, funded by the generosity of our supporters, and here to help alleviate the pain and confusion caused by the death of a parent or sibling. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life-changing. Get in touch with us if you need support.

 

Who is this aimed at?

Individuals, families, schools and professionals affected by grief.

 

How to get involved

Our free helpline is available on: 0808 802 0111 (Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm)

We also offer Grief Talk chat online.

At Grief Encounter, alongside our support, you will have access to resources that can help you communicate how and what you are feeling, and coping with your loss. You will find steps to take, and information on ways to channel your grief positively.

There is also material for further along the line; you will find you cannot take too much in at first, but keep coming back to read through the steps or please get in touch with us at: support@griefencounter.org.uk
