GUIDING AND SUPPORTING BEREAVED CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
Guy’s Gift provides bereavement support for children, young people and their families across Coventry and Warwickshire.
Taking our first referrals for support in 2009, we have supported over 3000 children and young people to process their feelings following a significant bereavement.
Today marks the beginning of Children’s Grief Awareness Week 2024. This year’s theme is #BuildingHope, which we recognise is incredibly important when working with bereaved children and young people.
This December, we are inviting families to come together for an indoor creative activity, followed by a lantern-lit walk to a place where we can gather and remember the person who has died.
In light of World Mental Health Day this week, some of our team have visited Royal Leamington Spa College and Rugby College (both part of WCG) to raise awareness around the important service Guy’s Gift offer.
Inclusion is at the heart of what we’re about at Guy’s Gift. We’re invested in supporting women and girls to achieve the best outcomes, and providing a safe space for them to explore their emotions. This empowers girls to make choices that encourage success.
