Plaistow | Counselling, Advice & Mentoring
Charity offers grief support, services include Bereavement counselling and wellbeing support groups in East London.
The Drop-in Bereavement Centre's primary function is to support bereaved individuals and their families to process the grief journey. Clients are GP/IAPT referred from across the East London Boroughs, Newham, Redbridge, Havering (Romford), Barking & Dagenham, Waltham Forest, Enfield, Hackney.
We provide face to face/telephone grief counselling, peer group support workshops, and follow on wellbeing activities designed to help minimize the degree to which bereavement has impacted individual’s needs, all delivered by professionals with provision for referrals to other services for practical advocacy support.
Why the community needs us
We are a Constituted Charity, run by a voluntary Management Board.
Our staff have lived experiences of bereavement enabling them to provide a person-centered approach crucial to the understanding of needs. Individuals helped by our services who have mental health issues transition through the grief process finding their new place in society.
Our impact on the community.
Our Counselling programme and wellbeing activities is very effective acting as early intervention which is reinforced over a longer period; clients become befrienders regaining a sense of their own worth by helping others; The wellbeing of bereaved individuals in the community reduces the demand for more expensive social and community interventions which might otherwise be required. The support service our charity provides reduces the pressure on the NHS/GP frontline social services. Our Charity receives no Government statutory funding. Your support is ever more needed in keeping the Drop-In Bereavement Centre going with neighboring Bereavement Services having closed down.
