If you have been recently bereaved our Early Bereavement Support can be a really helpful place to turn. We know just how difficult the early months following a bereavement can be, and finding support that feels right for you can be hard. We want to give everyone access to timely and flexible one to one support, during the first 6 months of your bereavement, we offer a listening service for emotional support and practical signposting.

Our Service Offering

Our early bereavement support offers up to 6 months of free-to-access support with one of our Suicide Beravement Advisors, delivered by telephone or video. We offer compassionate support focused on the present moment, by having someone from our team walk alongside you to support in navigating these first few months.

We offer regular calls with trained members of our team, these calls can be more flexibly scheduled than traditional counselling support as we recognise the ups-and-downs of the early months of grief. These calls are normally around 30 minutes and can be weekly, fortnightly, or could be scheduled around particular dates or milestones.

You can use this space however you need; a non-judgemental space to talk about grief and how you’re feeling today, or for support around more practical elements such as building a support network, navigating conversations about loss, and championing self-care.

You can reach out for support by completing our online application form or by calling our support line on 0800 054 8400 (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm). Someone will be in touch within 48 hours to discuss your application.
