Once we have the referral details, one of our Children & Young People team will contact the referrer as soon as possible to discuss setting up support.
We will make ourselves available to you so you can prioritise your grief and will try to arrange an appointment for you as soon as possible. Please be aware the waiting list can be 6-8 weeks. We will try to fit in around you so if you are offered an appointment, please make yourself available.
Every effort will be made to ensure you get the support when you have indicated you are free but if on three occasions you are not available at the implied free time – we will need to move you to the end of the waiting list.
Due to the high volume of clients needing our support, following three attempts to meet you, it will be necessary to move you to the bottom of the waiting list if you do not turn up.
We feel you have reached out to us for a reason and are here to offer support but you need to make the time.
While all our services are delivered without charge it costs Cruse approximately £600 per client to offer our bereavement support.
