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.
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:
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.
Individuals, families, schools and professionals affected by grief.
Our free helpline is available on: 0808 802 0111 (Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm)
