Dealing with traumatic incidents
One of the most traumatic incidents that a child or young person might be faced with is the death of a friend or family member - and this experience is further complicated when the death is a result of suicide.

Support during COVID-19
Running our face-to-face support during the current pandemic is challenging, which is why we are offering free Little Bags of Help to families in need. Each bag contains a Grief First Aid kit which includes fun and easy-to-use resources and activities to aid parents, carers and support volunteers in offering support to young people who have had a significant bereavement.
