The young people we work with at CBC have told us that it helps them to spend time with other bereaved young people. They say that knowing that other young people are going through what they are helps them to feel that they are not alone. Even if they don’t talk directly about the person who has died, or their feelings, just to know other people have been through the same is something they have found comforting.

We can help you to find any local bereavement support organisations that may offer young people’s groups, call our Support and Information line on 01494 568900 or email us. We can also offer guidance to your school, college, university or youth group on setting up a peer support group, or you could direct them to the For Schools section.
