** Additional Lockdown Information:
JBCS remains open to help and support Jewish individuals through loss and bereavement. Despite the safe distancing and self-isolation that people are compelled to adhere to in the battle against COVID-19, JBCS is still able to carry out counselling through various social media means including WhatsApp, Zoom and telephone.
The Jewish Bereavement Counselling Service (JBCS) is a service dedicated to bereavement counselling. JBCS is committed to ensuring that professional, skilled and confidential bereavement counselling is available to everyone in the Jewish Community. JBCS seeks to work in ways that respect your values, beliefs, resources, and needs. Anyone struggling or having difficulties managing after the death of a significant person in their lives can contact us.
Our counsellors understand the specific issues raised by bereavement within a Jewish context. A Jewish service can be sensitive, aware and knowledgeable about social, cultural and religious needs.
Have comprehensive training and knowledge in the issues of grief and loss.
See adults and children individually, families, couples and groups.
See people at all stages of life, from childhood to old age.
Have experience in supporting people affected by loss, including suicide, disaster, holocaust issues, sudden infant death, miscarriages, stillbirth and abortion.
See people from the entire spectrum of Jewish practice and observance
Being part of a group with others who have shared similar experiences can be very helpful following a bereavement.
