Support is available through
- a daily helpline

- advice
- signposting
- and bereavement awareness training to external organisations.
We have a special website, RD4U, developed by Cruse Bereavement Care's Youth Involvement Project which aims to support young people, after the death of someone close to them.
We believe that the best way of doing this is to involve young people in planning, developing and delivering services. RD4U is aimed at young people, mainly between 12 and 18 years old. However, we do realise that many people of different ages find the site useful. RD4U means the 'road for you' - the main aim of the site is to let you find your own 'road' to dealing with your loss.
