We are a Dorset charity offering support to bereaved children, young people, parents and carers. We provide individual support and offer children and young people the opportunity to meet others and share their experiences.
Research shows that grief affects children physically, psychologically and behaviourally and many of our referrals come from schools where children and young people are experiencing difficulties academically and may find ongoing relational problems with their peers. Bereaved children are often the victim of bullying and often have difficulty socially, sometimes questioning the meaning of life.
Whilst grief is a natural response to a loss, the overwhelmingly strong emotions experienced by children and young people often result in frequent visits to the GP or hospital. Without appropriate support and education the unacknowledged psychological impacts of grief can escalate, and at point of crisis children maybe referred for psychiatric assessment by the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service.

Barry Light will be 60 on 22nd December and to ‘celebrate’ the event he has set himself the challenge of running 60 marathons in 60 weeks!
This will consist of 5 World marathons, 15 European and 40 UK based events!
Barry is hoping to raise £60000 and has chosen Mosaic as one of the 5 charities he will be supporting. This is a huge challenge and we would like everyone to sponsor him and help him to reach his target.
