Counselling and Mental Health Service

Entry to this course is via Practitioner referral only

If you have been affected by the death of someone, this can be a distressing time. Our distress can sometimes feel exacerbated and perpetuated by a world that does not seem to allow us the time to grieve. Or perhaps you cant grieve and this is also troubling you?

The Bereavement group will offer you a safe space to process your loss in a supportive environment, where you will meet other students who think and feel just like you. We use a psychoeducational approach, giving you the necessary information to understand that your distress is a normal response. It is usual for students who attend the bereavement group to identify that they have more in common with one another, than they do with some of their closest relationships.

This event will take place in Wellbeing Rooms, Resource Room, G.61, Ground Floor, Simon Building for the first four sessions.

Fifth session will take place in Room 5.004, Counselling and Mental Health Service, Fifth Floor, Crawford House. This will be the Bereavement Moving On Group and will be hosted by one of our student facilitators.

After completion of this group, you will have the option of attending our peer-led support group ( Moving on Group) that meets during term-term, here at the service.
