Donegal Youth Service have just launched a new guide for young people about Understanding Grief. 

The guide helps to explain the impacts of the grieving process and provide some tips and coping mechanisms as well and outlining some things we can all do to help and support others with grief. The official launch took place on Friday 25th March at DYS headquarters.

Lorraine Thompson, Regional Director at Donegal Youth Service said “We are delighted to be able to bring this guide to young people across Donegal.  The initial idea for the guide came directly from young people engaged with our Wellness Youth Group and they worked tirelessly to generate and fine tune the content and design. We are also extremely grateful for the support of Healthy Donegal and we hope that young people will find the guide useful and I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the additional one to one supports that DYS provide via our Youth Talk listening ear service.”

The guide was made possible by Healthy Donegal through the Healthy Ireland Community Mental Health Small Grants Scheme, supported by the Dept. of Health endeavours to support and raise awareness of such initiatives.

Margaret Fitzgerarld, Healthy Donegal Coordinator attended the launch and commented that: “Incorporating positive mental health and well-being practices during adolescence helps promote the development of healthy and resilient adults. This Grief Support information leaflet ‘Understanding Grief’ by Donegal Youth Service has a far-reaching legacy for the group of young people involved in its development.

The guide is available in a flyer format, providing brief but effective information, and is available free to be picked up from Donegal Youth Service, 16-18 Port Road Letterkenny.  There is also a digital version that can be accessed from the DYS website or associated social media channels.

Donegal Youth Service is a countywide youth organisation, meeting the needs of young people all over Donegal.  For more information you can pop in to 16-18 Port Road, Letterkenny, call 074 91 29630, email admin@donegalyouthservice.ie, visit www.donegalyouthservice.ie and stay up to date with us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
