With a new year often comes reflection. Some things will have been fantastic for people last year, other things may not have gone to plan and some people are still processing things that have happened.

We are sharing this as a reminder of self-compassion.

Medicalising grief results in waiting lists for talking therapy, the use of medication & healthcare resources. A compassionate community, workplace or school that is grief friendly can make a difference.
