Support for children & adults

On the sad loss of a family member we send vital bereavement information to our patient's next of kin to be shared with family and friends. This information includes the booklet ‘Facing Loss' and information about the Individual Counselling Service and Bereavement Support Groups held at each site.

These information packs are sent about eight weeks after bereavement unless the team are aware people need information sooner. Information about supporting bereaved children is also available.
