Support for families
We support families being cared for by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde or who have input from the Royal Hospital Children and who are experiencing:
- A miscarriage / still birth
- The death of a baby
- The death of a child (up to 18 years)
- A situation where a baby or child is not expected to live
We provide support sessions for individuals, couples, siblings and families.
There is also a parents and carers support group.
Support for staff
We also offer 1:1 support for staff who are struggling to deal with a death at work or personally and provide staff debriefs on request.
We have an open-door staff drop-in for staff seeking an ad-hoc chat for support at our room in the ground floor atrium of the RHC.
We offer training in Bereavement Awareness, staff resilience and other specialist training relating to Bereavement.
