National Bereavement Partnership provides a support helpline, counselling referral and befriending service for all those suffering from anxiety, grief or mental health issues as a direct or indirect result of the COVID-19 pandemic. ​Our highly skilled helpline volunteers are on hand to support the vulnerable, offering information, advice and support, with empathy and compassion. Each one has a deep understanding for grief, anxiety and mental health issues. Our aim is to assist the prevention of distress and alleviate mental suffering during these unprecedented times. Our team is made up of qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and befrienders, all of whom can be reached by calling our national freephone helpline and email. At whatever stage we are contacted, we will offer support through the individuals’ journey and assist with issues associated with bereavement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We work closely with the NHS Trusts and other relevant organisations.
