Seeking funding to meet the increasing need to support grieving children, young people(YP), and their families during Christmas time. The grieving process has been disrupted due to Covid-19. We have seen an increase in concerns with disclosures of self-harm, suicide ideation, and vulnerability.

Beneficiaries
Situation
Children and young people's mental health has suffered during Covid-19 even more for those who have lost a loved one from Covid and other illnesses. Christmas can bring up a lot of emotions and we are working with individuals and their families to provide support for grieving families who are disadvantaged or marginalised, and work with complex grief that can prohibit children from progressing in school. Additionally, we anticipate that we will support Children/YP who were unable to say goodbye.
Solution
Delivering bereavement services to meet the assessed needs of those within CABS. This includes individuals, families, groups, and community organisations. Allowing for unique grieving processes of family circumstance, culture, language, beliefs, and religious background. We will support children, young people (aged 4 to 17), and families through the processes of understanding terminal illness, coming to terms with bereavement and loss by providing art psychotherapy, amongst other approaches.
