Great post from Mind! 💭 Mental health and grief are so interconnected and the current system is just not working, leaving many unsupported. It is time to fix it. #mentalhealth #grief #ukelection

Welcome to our first post in our 'Leading After Loss' series 💭 Often, when we lose one or both parents at a young age it can feel that growing a career will be more difficult, this series highlights those who have gone to lead in their careers after loss at an earlier age💡 In this first article, Chris Stevenson shares his experience of losing both of his parents and how that has impacted his career and leadership style. It was great to meet Chris and share experiences so openly. You can read the full article on our website now: https://lnkd.in/e2fTQurT #leadingafterloss #griefstory #PR #careeradvice

It's Time is a remarkable charity founded by people who have lived experience of losing one or both parents as a young adult. Something that I sadly also have experience of. They exist to make the world a better place for young adults who have experienced parental loss. They asked me to write something for them about coming out the other side of that loss and how I dealt with it and how it influenced my life and career. Link below If this helps one person who has been through the same thing then it would really make me happy, or if reading it helps you to help someone going through this right now then that would be great too. BUT most importantly, if you're going through this right now It's Time is there to help you. I know that had I had access to the resources they provide, it would have helped me. So have a read and even better, donate to keep funding their work. https://lnkd.in/ekeKtSWy #lifeafterloss #itstime #leadingafterloss

Last night the second group therapy ended, I always feel a sense of loss when each group ends, but it's wonderful to reflect on their growth. It has been an incredible experience again to walk alongside another 10 young adults for a short time on their journey as an ABC. It's Time Charity have created this amazing no cost therapeutic space for young adults who have experienced parental loss. I believe this sets a template of openness for the future as they go along in life. I'm humbled at the growth again in 10 weeks, digging deep, sharing their all, being vulnerable, supporting each other and open minded to the offerings. Each group works just as hard. Thank you Dave Jacob-Lloyd for believing in this idea and funding this project! 🙏 We laugh, we cry and we belong.

The team had a fantastic time attending the Bereavement in Education Summit at St Mary’s University, Twickenham yesterday! There were lots of great speakers and interesting conversations. 💭 We came away with plenty of ideas and inspiration for ways to support our community. And a big thank you to Anna Lise Gordon for organising the event!👏🏻 #bereavementineducation #educationsummit #bereavement

Ways to support someone in your team who is grieving: 💡 Respect their boundaries. You may want to inform the team and colleagues about their bereavement, but make sure to ask them how and when they would like this communicated and with whom. 💡 Make a note of the specific dates so you know when the anniversary is coming around. This can make you more aware of changes in emotions, when the person may need extra support, flexibility or annual leave. 💡 Expect changes. The person may use work as a distraction but they may need support down the line. It could also take the person a while to return to work and feel comfortable, so allow them some flexibility and be aware that grief has no timeline. The end of bereavement leave doesn’t mean the end of their grief. #grief #griefsupport #hradvice #charity
