Garden for Grief

"I've spent over 20 years delivering therapy in hospital/ clinical settings, and I can hand on heart, 100% confirm that there's no better place to heal than out here" - Cath Darling, elementalocctherapy

Thanks to TNLCommunity Fund and National Lottery Players, the Wildside has been able to partner with Cath Darling to deliver free nature-based grief work in the outdoors for both children and adults.

Adults group generally consist of approx. 4-6 people who are learning to live their lives with grief. The programme runs between 8-12 weeks, meeting on a weekly basis for 3 hours on a Friday afternoon at our site in Shiremoor. Following the completion of this programme, participants are then encouraged to join the Wednesday morning intergenerational group on a longer term basis if they so choose to. 

Children 1:1/ sibling group are available to children experiencing loss. These weekly sessions last one hour and run between 6 weeks.

Please get in touch if you or someone you know could benefit from coming along to this group. Participants for the adult group must be 18 or over.
