Those who have been bereaved are in need of support, and groupwork is an effective way in which people can come together and support each other in a trusted environment.

This book provides a practical introduction to setting up and facilitating bereavement support groups, giving facilitators the confidence to run a group. It guides the reader through all the stages of setting up a group, and examines different types of facilitation and the skills needed. Case studies illustrate different types of group, such as closed, time-limited groups and open groups, with a discussion about the potential of online groups. Chapters also cover group dynamics, handling challenging situations, and overcoming problems that may arise.

This accessible book helps to make groups successful for both participants and facilitators, and is a valued source of information and guidance for those working with bereaved people, including hospice and hospital staff, counsellors, trainers, managers and social workers.

Industry Reviews
This book is a clear guide to assist people embarking upon setting up a bereavement support group. As the range of situations in which a group may take place is considerable, no one size can fit all. Dodie Graves shares honestly with the reader her learning gained over many years of experience; what has worked for her and what has not; the joys and rewards, and some of the difficulties encountered. Setting up and Facilitating Bereavement Support Groups will be useful for people new to setting up and running groups, as well as offering fresh ideas to more experienced practitioners.
