Our bereavement support group, Tears to Laughter, offers peer support to adults who are grieving.
When someone close to us dies, it is one of the hardest things we experience in our lives. We go through a very normal and natural process of grieving that can be very difficult. With the support of our family and friends, we can find a place that we can live alongside that grief.
Tears to Laughter is a new bereavement group that offers support during this initial grieving process. It is open to people over the age of 18.
How it works
Your first contact will be with our Support and Information Team. After that, we will introduce you to the group, which is run both online and face-to-face.
This is a peer support group. That is to say, you will meet other people who understand what you are experiencing. They are going through it too, or have been through something similar. Peer support is known to increase your wellbeing and support your personal growth. A member of the Treetops team is on hand for support as needed.
This group does not offer counselling and if therapeutic support is needed, we will signpost you to our Therapeutic Counselling service where you can self-refer for further help.
