Lukes provides support to children and young people up to 19 years, living in South West Essex. Support is offered according to the needs of the child or young person following an initial assessment. Death is a normal part of life but for a child or young person the death of a relative or friend can be difficult to understand. When somebody very special is seriously ill or has a life limiting disease or has died, it may be difficult to think about telling children and young people about what is really happening. Attempts to protect them from the truth can leave children and young people feeling confused and alone with fears, anxieties and questions. Lukes offers 1-1 counselling, family support work, youth work and group support. Within the team we have trained Family Support Workers, a Youth Worker and qualified Child & Adolescent Counsellors. Children and young people may be offered the option to attend a Bereavement Support Group. This can enable them to meet others who have experienced similar situations and can help to decrease the sense of isolation. School Drop-Ins for support at schools for young people.
