Julie Stokes at the launch of the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network
The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Frances Fitzgerald TD today launched the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network which has been set up to support those working with grieving children and young people. Based on a UK model, the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network will act as a hub for those working with bereaved children, young people and their families in Ireland. The aim of the network is to facilitate easy access to a choice of high quality local and national information, guidance and support to enable children to manage the impact of death and the loss in their lives. The Irish Hospice Foundation has agreed to host the Network for the first two years and will seek to source funding for its ongoing development.
