How long after event/change is it appropriate for my child to attend the group?
The natural grieving process takes time, and it is different for each person therefore enough time should be given for their grieving process to take place. We generally recommend at least six months from the change happening. Not every young person who experiences a bereavement, loss or negative change will require support like Give us a break! However, if you have ongoing concerns for your child following any of these changes (e.g. behaviour, emotional, psychological etc) then Give us a break! could help them. More information can be found ‘in’ the psychological services bereavement and loss leaflet in the resource section of this website.
