Petes Dragons - Advice sessions for adults supporting bereaved children
Grief in children & young people can be complex. These free online advice sessions are to support adults supporting grieving CYPs.
Pete’s Dragons is launching a new free, online monthly drop-in support group for anyone supporting a child or young person bereaved by any type of death.
We know that grief in children and young people can be complex and that the adults around them often need space to ask questions, seek reassurance and explore how best to offer support. This group has been created to provide exactly that.
Navigating EBSA: Practical Guidance for Parents and Educators

Collective Crew Afterschool drop-in
The Collective Crew Drop in is an inclusive afterschool drop-in, so it’s particularly good for young people with anxiety or those who don’t enjoy large spaces.
It runs on Thursdays, 3:30–5:30pm at the Courtenay Centre, Newton Abbot and is for young people aged 11–16. It’s an inclusive, welcoming space run by qualified youth workers where young people can connect with others, build life skills and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. The session is free to attend and there is no need to book — young people can just turn up.
