Supporting bereaved children and young people | Child Bereavement UK

When a parent, sibling, grandparent or friend has died, children and young people grieve just as deeply as adults, but they can show it in different ways. They learn how to grieve by copying the responses of the adults around them and rely on them to support them in their grief.

YoungMinds

YoungMinds is leading the movement to make sure every young person gets the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.
