CHILDREN’S GRIEF AWARNESS WEEK - 16 - 22 NOVEMBER

This is Children’s Grief Awareness Week.

I participated in a debate in Westminster on the importance of helping bereaved children cope with the loss of a parent or beloved family member.

Without the proper support to cope with the death of a loved one, the impacts on a child’s mental health and general well being can be far reaching.

There can also be significant social costs to this.

How we grieve and how we see those close to us coping with grief when we are children, can shape how we manage grief for the rest of our lives. 👇
