Ollie Foundation introduces the Grief Café for Teens

The Ollie Foundation have recently had some funding approved to provide a number of Grief Café sessions for Teens. Please see below. 

We would be grateful if you could share this with families, students and your staff / pastoral teams.   

 💛 Grief Café for Teens 💛
A safe space for young people who have experienced loss

What is a Grief Café?

Losing someone you love can feel overwhelming, lonely, and confusing. A Grief Café is a welcoming space for teens who have been bereaved to connect, share (if they want to), and find support in a way that feels right for them.

💬 No pressure to talk – just an open space to be understood.
💛 Meet others who get it – because you are not alone.
🎨 Express grief in creative and meaningful ways.
🕯️ Learn how to honour and carry the memory of your loved one.

This is not therapy or counselling—it’s a space for connection, reflection, and support.

📅 Session 2: Holding On & Letting Go – Exploring memories & emotions
