Grief Together: Peer Support for Loss through Youth Violence

This is a space for anyone carrying the loss of someone to serious youth violence.

This session is facilitated by Creating Conversations and the Vanguard/NHS violence reduction service. It is not a clinical or mental health service — it is a space held by the community, for the community, to come together and be heard.

Open to: loved ones, friends, family members, youth workers, and anyone in the wider community who has been touched by this kind of loss. All are welcome.

What to expect:

• A short 20-minute talk from the Waltham Forest Vanguard Violence Reduction service
• A safe, non-judgmental space, at your own pace
• No pressure to speak – come to share, or simply to listen in solidarity
• Space to explore what grief in these circumstances can look like, alongside others who understand
• Facilitators experienced in supporting people through grief and trauma
• Sharing more information on local support options

Places are limited — please reserve your spot in advance.

You don’t have to carry this alone.
