Today, BBC Radio York came to York St John Communities Centre to interview some of us about our bereavement cafes, including Nola the therapy dog, who 'volunteers' for the bereavement service. Nola belongs to Nikki, our Centre Manager.
The film will be shown on Look North, next Wednesday

In a recent The Conversation article, Dr. John Wilson, Director of Bereavement Services Counselling & Mental Health Clinic at York St John Communities Centre, explores Why losing a parent when you’re a young adult is so hard. ⬇️

Went to a very civilised meeting this afternoon. Civilised because these were the biscuits with the coffee.

I was pleased to have been invited to this podcast.

I was honoured to join Andy Langford in writing this tribute to a great man.

Looking forward to reading these books by Dr. John Wilson following a wonderful training series on bereavement counselling via Onlinevents CPD

(It’s also given me a much-needed kick to get the ball rolling on applying for my PhD😱)

Relevant for therapists, relevant for the world.

Love is more than erotic connection. Happy Valentine's day everyone.

For suggesting, on Facebook, that that therapists offer their first session free, to optimise opportunities for client choice, I've just been accused 'lacking compassion for hard working therapists.'
Surprised at how hurt I feel, because I work hard to provide affordable CPD.

A guide to your grief journey in its natural habitat.

Always pleased to support The Good Grief Trust

It's The Good Grief Trust Umbrella Day The Good Grief Trust, and I'm marking it by teaching assessment good practice to a large group of bereavement specialists online.

My friends and I who have had cancer and professional colleagues in cancer care, agree that #itvnews staff wearing black to announce the King's diagnosis,sends out an entirety unhelpful message. He's not dead, he's currently living with cancer.
