Have you heard of the new wave project?

Take a look below for Lancashire Mind post for more information👇

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: The Wave Project

Supporting a bereaved child or young person can feel overwhelming. 💙 Some children become quieter. Some may feel angry or anxious. Others might find it difficult to talk about how they’re feeling.
The Wave Project is a new, free service for children, young people and families across Blackburn with Darwen.
Our 8-week group programmes support children and young people aged 5–18 (up to 25 with additional needs) who have experienced the death of someone important to them.
Through age-appropriate activities, young people can explore their feelings, understand grief, develop ways to cope and spend time with others who have been through similar experiences.
There’s support for parents and carers too, because we know you may be trying to support your child while navigating your own grief.

👉 Join The Wave Project Facebook group for updates, upcoming group sessions, events and support taking place throughout the year:
https://ow.ly/zZRf50ZAqmM
The Wave Project is delivered by Lancashire Mind and supporting partners, and is funded by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Be well BwD
There is no right or wrong way to grieve. You and your family don’t have to navigate it alone.
