HOW WILL THIS HELP?
1
Raise awareness
By normalising the topic of death, it is anticipated young people will find themselves in a better position to deal with any loss they will one day encounter, sometimes unexpectedly.
2
Address the stigma
For those who have not yet encountered death in their lives, they will discover ways to respond to their friends who have been bereaved. In the future, this knowledge will enable them to offer support to colleagues, friends and relatives.
3
Combat isolation
For young people who have been affected by death already in their lives, it is hoped that it will help them to feel less isolated and to realise they are not alone.
4
Build resilience
By opening up
the subject it seeks to help build resilience and prevent the development of mental health issues and complications which
sometimes result from
bereavement and grief. Crucially it aims to encourage
peer support.
