Bereavement & Loss
A range of sessions designed to give people the tools they need to help them move forward after experiencing a bereavement or significant loss in their life, for example the loss of a job, home, or partner. We have sessions taking place both online and in-person, and we offer support in both group and 1-2-1 settings.
Art Activities
