Families in Grief
About
We support children, young people and their families in North Devon and the Torridge area who have experienced the death of someone close.
Families in Grief (FiG) provides support to bereaved families living in North Devon and the Torridge area. We believe that any child or young person who is struggling with grief has the right to access bereavement support. This is why our services are free to the families who contact us for help.
We support children, young people and their families who have experienced the death of someone close to them. And, together, we’ll come up with the most appropriate support for you and your family.
The support we provide is free of charge, non-judgmental and inclusive. We support children and young people up to the age of 25. Our direct support can include:
- 1:1 visits at school, FiG Office or other community settings to build a relationship with the young person and their adult carer(s)
- Group programmes (lasting 4-6 weeks) which bring groups of bereaved young people together to explore their grief through carefully designed activities (separate groups are delivered for children and teenagers and we always deliver a parallel group for the parents/carers in their lives)
- Activity days (such as surfing, climbing, bush-craft, walking and talking sessions) and art/writing workshops to enable the exploration of grief through participation in a creative or physical activity
- 1:1 sessions for bereaved older teenagers or for those families needing more bespoke support
- Small group drop-ins for bereaved families to facilitate longer term connections
- Specific groups and tailored support (e.g for families who have experienced a baby death, death through suicide/trauma, road traffic accident)
We're always looking for volunteers to help with fundraising and supporting children and young people. Click here for our volunteer application form.
