A community project that promotes and supports mental, physical and social well-being.<\/h4>\n

\n

The Centre for Grief <\/a> In recent weeks and months, representatives from the Bereavement Centre have been visiting staff at Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's primary schools to provide training on the grief and bereavement reactions of children and young people. Visits to staff at nurseries are planned for the future. Representatives from the Bereavement Centre draw on their own experience in the training, providing staff with advice and tools that can help improve the well-being of both bereaved children and the staff themselves, who must both cope with their own grief and support those who are grieving. A visit from the Bereavement Centre is designed to empower staff and boost their confidence when supporting a pupil in mourning.<\/p>\n

The City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has been an important supporter of the organisation. <\/sup><\/p>\n

It's about regaining faith in the future after a loss <\/h4>\n

The bereavement education programme is a joint project between the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and the Bereavement Centre, concerning responses to grief and, perhaps just as importantly, the support and resources available when grief strikes. No one goes through life without experiencing grief, which can take many different forms. Good and constructive grief work has a significant impact on one's well-being and helps to regain faith in the future after the loss of a loved one. The school community in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is large and includes all the town's neighbourhoods: staff, pupils and families.\u00a0This community project is part of the health promotion for the residents and staff of the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and a token of gratitude from the Bereavement Centre for the goodwill and support of the city.<\/p>\n

The team behind the Bereavement Centre is a strong one. Here you can see the organisation's Executive Director and Chair of the Board, together with staff and other board members, at the official opening of the organisation's new premises on the 4th floor of the St. J\u00f3's Wellbeing Centre.\u00a0 The Bereavement Centre has been based on the 2nd floor of the Life Quality Centre since the centre opened in the autumn of 2019. The organisation has now moved to larger premises and can offer all its counselling and services to bereaved people in its own space.   <\/sup><\/p>\n
