OWLS – Overcoming Worry, Loss and Sadness – supports children aged 4 to 11 and their families living in the Leeds area. It can help in a number of ways, including offering practical and emotional support, direct one-to-one therapy, schools workshops and peer activity days where affected children and their families can get together to share experiences and support each other.
The Just B team, part of charity North Yorkshire Hospice Care is now working on behalf of The Jane Tomlinson Appeal’s OWLS (Overcoming Worry, Loss and Sadness) Bereavement Service, to continue to offer practical and emotional bereavement support to primary-aged children (4-11) across Leeds. Currently, the one-to-one support provided is being offered remotely, using a variety of creative resources to support Children and Young Peoples’ thinking, understanding and ability to explore their own grief.
The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is proud to continue to fund the OWLS bereavement service which at present is being provided by Just B on behalf of the charity. All bereavement support services will be provided directly by Just B.
