Young Loss

Young Loss

A peer led social group supporting staff who has lost someone in young adulthood/ adultescence.

We are reaching out to staff who may have lost someone dear at a young age, losing someone close can have a real effect on themselves and others around them. Knowing that others have been through such a dramatic loss can be a real advocate for others. We are a small social group who have lost someone close, and we would love to help, grow others, offer support and guidance.

The group is facilitated by Melissa (Human Resources), Jemma (Sports Development and Recreation) and Steve (Campus Services), all of whom have had experience of bereavement. It is not a therapy group and doesn’t require anyone to talk about their experiences: it is a safe space where you can choose to be quiet, or to share how you have been doing.

We are new group and have yet to decide on what activities we can offer during these group sessions. So, we are open to ideas, whether this is doing some arts and crafts, or just having some time out, with a cup of tea and your favourite music. Please bring a packed lunch and a hot drink. You don’t have to attend every month - just come and go as you please.

If you're interested in joining this group, please pop along to our first session.
