The DPJ Foundation has received funding from the Welsh Government to provide its Share the Load and Counselling services to those who have been bereaved. This will work in the same way as the Share the Load helpline - by calling 0800 587 4262 or texting 07860 048 799.
As always, this service is confidential and free of charge to those accessing this support and the counselling is delivered by professional counsellors. Whilst the DPJ Foundation has historically been associated with suicide, this service can support those people bereaved in any situation and not just by suicide.
The Share the Load service has supported a number of people with grief and who have been bereaved, but this funding will promote this aspect of the service more specifically.
