Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

What We Do

Devon, Plymouth & Torbay

Our services are available to all age groups and an individual does not have to be bereaved in the strictest sense - we understand that anyone can be impacted by suicide, whether it was the death of a friend, colleague, service user or someone you did not know. We do not offer a set package or have any time limits, the service received is tailored solely to individual needs.

How can we help?

• Provide a resource pack tailored specifically to your needs

• We offer a listening service which can be through face-to-face visits, over the telephone or even by email, whichever is right for you

• Offer practical advice and assistance on issues such as: how to inform others of the death, dealing with the media, wills and probate, applying for benefits, funeral arrangements, inquest advice and support and/or anything else that is causing concern

• Source and liaise with other appropriate support services to ensure that you get the right help for you just when it is really needed

• Children and family fun days designed to bring together those with a shared experience and send a clear message that it is ok to smile, have fun and enjoy what life has to offer.

• Regular 8 week Grief Recovery courses which teach small and correct steps to resolve grief and say goodbye to the pain, isolation and loneliness caused by significant emotional loss.

• Bereavement Counselling at Dragon HQ or another convenient location as required.

• Mindfullness through play.

• Regular workshops and learning events focused towards emotional and physical wellbeing.
