Understanding Bereavement
During sad times in our lives when a loved one has past away it is often difficult for a young person to deal with emotions and the great sense of loss. The information below is designed to help a young person(s) come to terms with this loss and answer some of the more difficult questions that they might ask.
There are also websites attached to each document to help and support students during this time.

Extra Support During These Uncertain Times
I just wanted to share this link with you all as I know we all need additional support at different times in our lives. This is a new service available 24/7.
* Click here to access Shout Webpage
Shout is a 24/7 UK crisis text service available for times when people feel they need immediate support. By texting ‘SHOUT’ to ‘85258’ the Texter will be put in touch with a trained Crisis Volunteer (CV) who will chat to you using trained techniques via text. The service is designed to help individuals to think more clearly and to take their next steps to feeling better.
Shout was publicly launched in May 2019, after a year long pilot phase. It is based on the successful US model Crisis Text Line. Shout is part of Mental Health innovations (MHI), which was founded in November 2017. MHI was set up following the success of The Royal Foundation’s ‘Heads Together’ campaign, which identified how utilising digital platforms and tools has huge potential to offer support services to individuals struggling with their mental health.
