Jeremiah's Journey

Jeremiah's Journey is a children's bereavement charity

What support do we offer?

• Jeremiah's Friends 9-week Group
  A 9-week group where we work with families where the bereavement has been traumatic in some way.
• Family Group Work
  Working with and supporting a bereaved family using a variety of activities over 3-4 sessions
• Story Group
  A 4-week group for young children and their parents using storybooks to explore children's grief.
• EMDR Group
  A group is delivering EMDR therapy and resourcing to parents whose bereavement has been traumatic.
• Jeremiah's Journey Youth Group
  An ongoing monthly peer-to-peer support youth group for tweens, which we are starting in the new year.

Sometimes we are also able to offer a limited number of individual sessions to children and young people if we feel this is necessary, or we can support parents or other professionals to support children themselves using Zoom or telephone appointments.

Helpline

We run a helpline on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 to 12 o'clock. Families and professionals are welcome to call us on 01752 424348 or email us with their telephone number at info@jeremiahsjourney.org.uk and one of the team members will contact them during those times.

School Consultation and Training

We offer fortnightly consultation slots from 3:30-4:30pm on alternate Wednesdays and Fridays, which schools and other professionals can access by calling 01752 424348 or emailing us at info@jeremiahsjourney.org.uk and a member of the team will contact them to book a time.

We have created several video training sessions and informative posters, which professionals working with bereaved children can request to access. The titles of the training we provide are:

• 5 ways to show compassion to a bereaved child or young person
• 5 things you can do to support a child who has been bereaved
• 5 things you can do to support a child under 5 who has been bereaved
