The Student Grief Network

Support for students

We support students who have lost someone, whether this was recently or years ago. You may want to learn more about grief, connect with others in the same boat, or share your story.

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

Workshops and groups

Check our our Eventbrite page to find upcoming events, from educational spaces to mindfulness groups and creative workshops.

We also host ‘Student Good Grief’, an free online peer-support group, in collaboration with The New Normal Charity. This is an informal conversation group, to talk and share or simply listen. Find details and sign up here.

You’re welcome to these meetings whether your loss happened years ago or recently, no matter your relationship to the person or how you have processed your grief so far. They are an informal alternative to professional support, run by people with personal experiences.

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
