Services
Adult Bereavement Support
Confidential one-to-one support for bereaved adults, available at multiple locations across Walsall Borough. Our trained professionals help individuals process complex emotions through structured sessions, with flexible weekday and Saturday appointments. We address grief-related challenges including sleep disruption, emotional regulation, and social reconnection, maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the support process.
Child Grief Support
Specialised support for children and young people aged 5-17, delivered through our 'The Swing' program. Sessions incorporate creative therapeutic approaches in a dedicated support room, accommodating varying grief complexities. We provide evidence-based interventions without restrictions on bereavement timing or relationship to the deceased, with optional family involvement to facilitate collective healing.
Group Support Sessions
Monthly group meetings for adults experiencing similar bereavements, offering peer support and shared coping strategies. Participants can attend for up to 12 months, with additional specialist groups addressing mental health impacts of grief. Sessions foster community connection while maintaining individual confidentiality and emotional safety.

Our remote services maintain the same professional standards as in-person sessions, with secure communication channels and flexible scheduling options to accommodate individual circumstances and preferences.
