How can it be June already?
We hope this email finds you safe and well as we find ways to adjust to the lock-down easing?
The new Somerset Bereavement Support Partnership has been operational for coming up to a month now, but with all the other changes going on around us we know it can be hard to remember it all!
With that in mind here is a little reminder of the support available to anyone in Somerset who has suffered a bereavement during the pandemic (Covid-19 related, or not), as well as support for any professional who has been affected by deaths due to Covid-19.
We are working in partnership with Marie Curie Companions Service.
The new Somerset Bereavement Support Partnership offers:
- 3 telephone support calls through Marie Curie Companions
- 6 further bereavement support sessions through Mind in Somerset (our team + external support workers) if desired
This support is available to anyone in Somerset who has been bereaved since the pandemic began.
The number to contact is: 0800 3047 412 | 9am-5pm
Professional referrals will be accepted.
Should you be a professional who has been affected by COVID-19 deaths within your role, the service is there for you too.
Please display this poster where people can see it, so who they can call to get support if they need it.
