At No Limits we have seen a year on year increase in young people coming to us for support about bereavement and loss. Many of them have experienced these losses earlier on in their lives & have developed complex & harmful ways of coping with their grief - using alcohol or drugs, being angry, taking risks, self harm. Young people are asking for help to understand their feelings & behaviour. Our staff lack confidence in working with these issues & have said that they need some specific training
We will provide training on loss & bereavement for our volunteer youth advisors & counsellors. We train 20 - 30 new volunteers each year though a 50 hour training program & will devise and include a module on Loss & Bereavement Support in our Training Package, as well as providing training for existing staff & volunteers. We will provide accessible support to young people through 3 drop in advice centres in Southampton (open daily) & 10 satellites in schools & FE colleges & through counselling
