Bereavement Support

Bereavement support for young people
1. Kooth
  The counselling service is provided to school aged young people (10 – 17 years) across Powys. This is a free service where you can self-refer for face to face counselling or online support. The counselling service can support with a wide range of emotional health and wellbeing needs and this can include bereavement as all counsellors, as part of their qualification will have undertaken some bereavement counselling training.
  
  If a young person is seeing a Kooth counsellor, they do not necessarily need to access separate bereavement counselling and can speak to their counsellor to provide this support.
  
  Availability: Face to face during school hours.
  
  Online support: Monday – Friday, 12pm-10pm.
