give me a break!

Give us a break! is a bereavement and loss programme that is overseen by Psychological Services within South Lanarkshire Council’s Education Resources. It was originally developed by a partnership between Psychological Services, NHS Lanarkshire and MacMillan Cancer. There was a perceived need for a group-based programme for children and young people who were experiencing loos and grief that had a strong focus on strengths and an underpinning solution-focused philosophy. Our research has provided evidence that Give us break! positively impacts on young people in terms of the factors which contribute to their resilience. When a baby lives only a short time or dies before birth due to miscarriage, stillbirth or a painful decision to end the pregnancy, people may assume that the loss is not important. This is simply not the case.

Further figures revealed the heartbreaking reality that almost three quarters (73%) of children with an autistic spectrum condition (ASC) find break times extremely difficult and in some cases actually frightening, something Owen Cordwell, aged 10, knows only too well: “I have been bullied just because I was in special provision. I never want anyone else to go through that. It doesn’t matter if you are autistic or not, you should not be bullied as we are all people with feelings and no child deserves to be bullied”The criteria for eligibility is that the child would find it difficult or impossible to access mainstream activities.

A parent of children under 18 dies every 22 minutes in the UK; around 23,600 a year. This equates to around 111 children being bereaved of a parent every day. Babies and young children have no understanding of the concept of death yet, long before they are able to talk, babies are likely to react to upset and changes in their environment brought about by the absence of a significant person. We have information leaflets about the programme for young people and parents/carers and posters for display in partner agencies. The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies. There is the grief associated with their own loss, but also the reactions and responses of their children to the death of a grandparent.Child Bereavement UK’s animation ‘The Invisible Suitcase’ was the joint winner in the Mental Health Charity film category at the 2023 Big Syn International Film Festival, London. Give Us a Break is a British comedy drama television series [1] which was originally broadcast on BBC One in a series of seven episodes between 22 September an 3 November 1983 with a feature-length Christmas Special the following year. [2] Synopsis [ edit ]

Bullying affects so many children and adults and the results can be damaging for them and everyone around them. If you are suffering, speak up, and if you see it, stand up to it. Please share, even if this makes a difference to one person.

We want to see all schools take decisive action to create environments and cultures where all children feel safe and supported without the fear of bullying at schools, cyber bullying, and within the community. There have been some horrific cases in the media and we as a Charity continue to campaign to raise awareness with this growing concern exacerbated further by mate crime, cyber bullying, which has led to some tragic outcomes. The agony of losing a child of any age is unparalleled. There is no age or point in time that makes it any easier. No parent expects to face the death of their child and no grandparent expects to lose their grandchild. Child Bereavement UK designs and delivers training for professionals in health and social care, education, the emergency services and the voluntary and corporate sectors, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families. Children and young people grieve just as much as adults but they show it in different ways. Find out how you can help them and more about child grieving.
