Grief Support Group

This grief support group is for young SEND/disabled young people aged 16-25 - a safe & welcoming space to explore feelings of grief together.

About this group

This grief support group is for young neurodivergent and/or disabled young people aged 16-25.  We will be providing a safe and welcoming space to explore feelings of grief together. Whether you’re dealing with loss or seeking connection with others who understand, this group will offer a supportive environment to share experiences, receive advice, and will include signposting to helpful resources.  This group will be hosted by Paula and our Wellbeing Coordinator Órla. Paula has extensive experience supporting young people through grief. She will be sharing her lived experience and advice and will be open to any questions in the session.
If you have any questions, want to let us know your access needs or just want to chat ahead of the group, please feel free to email us: Hub@kids.org.uk
Please note this is a peer support group, not therapy, and no counsellors or therapists will be present. The group is led by trained professionals experienced in safeguarding and creating a safe space. While we aim to provide a supportive environment, it’s important to seek additional help if needed.

Need more support?

Our groups are designed to help you to support your own wellbeing. Our staff will support you to make friends, have fun and do activities that feel good. But we are not trained counsellors or therapists and this is not a crisis service. If you are unwell, please take a look at our Help page for suggestions of where you can find support.

We want everyone who takes part in Kids Virtual Services to feel welcome and safe.

Kids have set out this code of conduct so that everyone who takes part in virtual services can have a good time.

Every group is different and has different needs so you may like to add extra rules however we expect all groups to follow the rules below as a minimum:

  • Keep each other safe. If you see or hear something you are worried about, please report it to a Kids colleague.
  • Make new people feel welcome and encourage them to take part.
  • Respect everyone else in the group even if you disagree with them.
  • Take turns speaking. Listen to other people and do not interrupt.
  • Do not bully others.
  • Do not use bad language or be offensive
  • Do not share or show rude pictures or videos
  • Respect the privacy of other people in the group. If someone has shared something private in the group do not share this outside the group.
  • Do not feel pressured to share things you do not want to.
