The Bereavement Support Group was established to provide confidential support to those members of our community who have suffered the death of a close family member. All bereaved members will usually be contacted by the group four to six weeks after the bereavement, and continued support by telephone or visits will be arranged for as long as is wished or is beneficial to the bereaved member.

All the members of our group have had an initial training by the charity, Bereavement Care, and follow its Code of Practice and Ethics. In addition, everyone continues to develop their skills by attending at least two workshops or conferences each year. We meet every six weeks for continued training and supervision.

If you would like to know more about our group, whether for support or with an interest in joining us, please email us on bereavementgroup@kolchai.org.
