About Listing
Woodside Bereavement Support (WBS) is a professional community-focused counselling service covering all Croydon. WBS seeks to assist clients affected by loss, regardless of their circumstances or background.
They aim to support those facing complex grief issues to accept their loss, better manage their daily tasks at a time of stress and chaos; to manage re-engagement with their family, friends and the local community; to maintain or improve their well being and hopefully through the bereavement support received to regain a sense of purpose at a challenging time in their lives and over time build up their resilience to lead healthy and independent lives.
The Service is delivered through three teams:
The Adult team: offering free 1:1 bereavement counselling and group support sessions to adults aged 18+.
The Children’s and Young People’s Team (CYPT): a specialist team, working with children and young people in Croydon schools. The majority of the under 18’s are seen at school.
The ‘Geras’ Team: with 3 volunteers supporting those aged 60+
