Bereavement Support

This service is available to all families, carers and friends of patients that have had any contact with KEMP.

The team consists of volunteers with specialist training in counselling skills – the minimum requirement being the Certificate in Bereavement Counselling skills, and many have a Diploma in Counselling. The team is fully supervised. The service provides support to families for a year via telephone, letter and one to one contact as required. Access to the service after this time is by referral.

A bereavement support group called LINK is held at KEMP on a monthly basis, this is an informal time where mutual support and friendship is encouraged.
