Teenager Suicide Bereavement Support for CYP (Children and Young People)

---

Young Person Suicide Bereavement Peer Support Group

First group launching COVENTRY!

When someone you care about dies by suicide, it can feel like no one truly understands what you’re going through. Traditional counselling isn’t the right fit for everyone - sometimes, what helps most is being with people who get it.

Sitting with Grief offers young people aged 15–19* the choice of a different kind of support — a safe, inclusive space to come together, share experiences, and work through grief alongside others your age, with similar experiences and losses. 

It’s a space where you don’t have to explain everything, because the people around you already understand. We welcome you as you are, meeting you in your current grief journey. 

Created and led by the Violet Project team, who have been supporting people bereaved by suicide since 2013, the group is also supported by two young peer volunteers who have lived through suicide loss themselves. Together, they bring understanding, empathy, and hope. Dare we say maybe more relatable!

• Fortnightly in-person sessions over 24 weeks
   
• Private online group for ongoing peer connection and support
   
• Creative reflection activities, including memory journals and boxes
   
• A compassionate environment where you choose how much you share and when
   

Sitting with Grief is about giving you choice in how you receive support. Not everyone wants to sit with a counsellor or talk in a formal setting (although as counsellors ourselves we also support counselling!). 

This is a space designed with young people, for young people - a community where you can connect with others your age, who understand your pain, and walk alongside you as you find your own path through grief.

You’re not alone. There is space for your grief, your memories, and your healing here.
