The Leeds Bereavement Forum supports the need in society to express grief and to come to terms with loss.
The Forum, set up in 1996, and is a city-wide network of organisations and individuals who offer services to bereaved people. A small team have been appointed to organise and manage this, to create the Directory and web Directory and to help develop and improve bereavement services as part of Leeds preventative mental health strategy. We work closely with existing services.
The Forum holds twice-yearly conferences and has several special interest groups.
The Forum is funded by the Leeds Primary Care Trust under their Mental Health remit.
We would welcome any comments you may have regarding the Directory, also if you would like to be included or have any updates please contact the office via email info@lbforum.org.uk
