The group aims to support parents who have lost a child of any age. The supporters themselves are bereaved parents. 

Meetings are held every 6 weeks in members homes.

We provide postal and email self harm support through a counsellor and other volunteers that have personal, supportive and/or professional experience of self harm. At this point we regret we cannot provide face to face support, this is something we hope to achieve in the future.

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. It’s the part of the NHS which helps children and young people who have problems with their thoughts or feelings. We can help people until they are 18.  If someone like a teacher or your doctor is worried about you, they can write to CAMHS to see if we can help you. This is called making a referral. The person who is going to write to us has to get your permission first. As long as we think you are able to decide, it's up to you whether or not we let your parents know.

If you are having trouble with your thoughts or feelings talk to your parents or carers, or an adult you trust.  There is a useful website called Health for Teens that you may find useful:  http://www.healthforteens.co.uk/

Most children who get help from CAMHS see one of our community teams. This normally means you will come to see us for weekly appointments at one of our bases, at a health centre or at your school.  We have lots of people working for us who can help you in different ways. These include:

• family therapists – who talk through problems with you and your family
• CAMHS social workers – who support children and families through difficult times
• family support workers – who can give advice to your parents or carers
• mental health practitioners – who support young people and their families to bring about positive change
• psychologists – experts in how people think and act
• psychiatrists – doctors who work on thoughts and feelings
• art psychotherapists – who can help you by using art and music

As well as our community teams, we have some teams which work on other difficulties. These include:

• Problems with eating
• Problems with drugs or alcohol
• Psychosis – when someone hears or sees things which aren’t there
• Intellectual disability – when someone finds it difficult to communicate or understand things

Mental health issues can have a profound impact on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. These may range from daily worries and stressors, to serious long-term problems that require treatment and in some cases, professional support, to manage effectively.

It is thought that there are two main types of mental health problems neurotic (typically the more common concerns, such as extreme stress or anxiety) or psychotic (less common concerns, such as schizophrenia). However, they are not always so easy to distinguish. We all have mental health, and what causes us worry and affects our daily lives may vary between each of us.

What is important is that the right information is provided, and that none of us are alone in our journey. Support is available - it's a case of finding what works best for you, whether that be self-help, professional guidance or medical treatment.

Here you will find some of the common types of mental health concerns. On the fact-sheets, you will find general information on the topic such as signs or symptoms, as well as treatment options and information on how counselling may help.

Lots more information on the website.

We are a team of individuals who understand despair. Many of us have faced similar difficulties and our service is here to help.
