Supporting Children & Young People Through Grief
At Wiltshire Treehouse, we support children & young people who have been affected by the death of someone important to them.
How Can We Help?
Wiltshire Treehouse offers advice and creative programmes that support the social and emotional well-being of bereaved children and young people. We offer a relaxed, safe and inclusive environment in which people can explore and grow to understand their grief. At Wiltshire Treehouse children can meet others, share stories, make a connection and help each other.
Our support is free of charge to families living or attending school within Swindon and Wiltshire. We can provide:
- Telephone advice and support to parents/carers, helping adults to understand their child and how to best support them,
- Direct work with children and young people affected by bereavement through our specialist group work programmes,
- Advice and training for professionals, helping schools and other organisations to support the bereaved children they work with,
- Referrals for more specialised help.
For more information please have a look at our leaflet or our Parents/Carers and Children & Young People pages.
Or, if you would like to discuss things further, then please do contact us.
