Based in Hitchin Stand-by-me Children’s Bereavement Support work with children and young people in the North Herts and Stevenage area. Our Groupwork Programme brings together children of similar age to give them an opportunity to meet others in similar circumstances, learn about how to manage their emotions in a therapeutic environment so they can achieve their potential.
Our website: www.stand-by-me.org.uk is our first line of support providing information and advice to help a child recognise and manage grief. Our website also offers information and resources to those involved in day-to-day care of children e.g. teachers and health professionals.
We have a telephone helpline (07469 255139) for parents/carers to help them understand their child’s grief and give them an opportunity to express concerns about their child’s well-being and refer to our Groupwork Programme.
