The thought of it was daunting but I found it was easy and relaxed and such a positive experience

Peer support groups
We host ‘Student Good Grief’, a free online peer-support group, twice each month. You’re welcome whether your loss happened years ago or recently, no matter your relationship to the person or how you have processed your grief so far.
The meetings are run by people with personal experience. You can get stuff off your chest, or simply listen. They are an informal, free alternative to therapy.
This is a collaboration with The New Normal Charity (TNN).
First time in five years I’ve not felt alone in the grief or loss I’ve suffered, in a really safe space

Understanding loss
Grief can feel so huge and complex sometimes. Learning more about it and hearing other people’s experiences can help us slowly untangle the impact of loss. You can start by visiting our About Grief pages and blog, or find us on Instagram or YouTube.
The providers listed below can also help with understanding grief in different ways.
So good to feel that grief and loss can be shared
