Life After Someone Important Has Died
23 June 2019
We are inviting young people between 12-18 years old in Scotland to take part in a research study about the impact of a death of someone important to them.
While previous research has found that bereavement is a common experience among adolescents, not much is known about its impact on day to day life, thoughts and feelings, and behaviours such as self-harm. This research aims to better understand the experiences and needs of bereaved young people, and to learn about how to best support them.
