10 Jan
Summary
- A new child-friendly booklet aids young people experiencing bereavement.
- The resource was co-created by children and an end-of-life matron.
- It will be distributed in schools, hospitals, and GP surgeries.
A new, child-friendly booklet has been launched to support young people dealing with grief and bereavement. This important resource was shaped by the direct insights of children who have experienced loss, alongside the expertise of Alex Wray, an end-of-life matron.
The booklet is designed with interactive elements and engaging visuals, aiming to provide comfort, understanding, and strength to children navigating difficult emotions. Its creation emphasizes the value of young voices in developing compassionate support systems.
This initiative will see the booklet distributed through various community channels, including schools, hospitals, and GP surgeries across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire. The NHS Humber Health Partnership is promoting this effort to ensure families have access to vital bereavement support.
