COVID-19 Bereavement Counselling
PETAL Support Launches COVID-19 Bereavement Counselling
PETAL Support has been providing bereavement counselling for people experiencing trauma and loss for more than 25 years.
Due to Covid-19, there has been a significant increase in families from across Scotland experiencing the trauma and loss due to the sudden death of a loved one. In response to this and thanks to Scottish Government Wellbeing Fund support, PETAL are now accepting referrals from families who have lost a loved one through Covid-19.
We are also continuing our core support of families and loved ones that are bereaved by Murder, Culpable Homicide and Suicide.
Qualified and highly experienced counsellors from across Scotland can help people process their grief and loss via telephone or online services. Families facing bereavement from Covid-19 as well as murder, culpable homicide and suicide should call PETAL on 01698 324 502 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
