Crocus Highland is a bereavement support service for children and young people living in the Highlands. Our services are available free of charge to young people living with grief, regardless of their location or the cause of their bereavement.
The death of someone close to the child can be a time of great sadness, distress or confusion. There may be unanswered questions about what has happened, and the grief of other family members can make it hard for the child to talk about their feelings. Whilst many children and families will be able to manage their loss without targeted support, we are here to provide help and advice where it is needed.
Staff and volunteers from a variety of backgrounds contribute to the work of Crocus, all with a shared focus on the needs of young people as individuals within a family.
We aim to:
- Help children, young people and families to understand and express their grief
- Provide children and young people with an opportunity to meet other bereaved children and young people
- Help children, young people and families to find positive ways of remembering the person who died
- Educate children, young people, families and the wider community about grief
- Help people to talk openly about death and bereavement
- Help restore confidence and self-esteem in bereaved children and young people
