  1. About Us

All about AtaLoss

AtaLoss helps bereaved people find support and wellbeing. Our vision is that no bereaved person in the UK should be left floundering or alone and unable to find support when they need it. We want there to be universal routine referral so that everyone can find timely, appropriate and effective support in the interests of their mental and physical health as well as practical, financial, social and spiritual wellbeing.
The death of someone close can be traumatic and cause one's life to go into free fall. Universal, routine referral to bereavement support is a sign of a compassionate society that understands the value of preventing avoidable suffering and mental ill-health. 

What AtaLoss provides

A national signposting website  Everything bereaved people in the UK need in one, trusted place, which signposts them easily to support (national, specialist and local services) reliable information, resources and emergency support. 
Find out more here:
Bereavement Services
Training to support children and young people Through our ListeningPeople project, we train many youth workers, teachers and other professionals encountering young people affected by issues such as bereavement, divorce and family breakdown. 
Find out more here: TRAINING: Supporting bereaved children and young people
 
Training and resourcing churches in bereavement support Through our Loss and HOPE project, churches are trained to provide effective and compassionate community bereavement support and, become catalysts for Bereavement Friendly Communities.
Find out more here: Churches & Bereavement Friendly Communities
 
The delivery of on-line bereavement support 
AtaLoss runs an on-line bereavement support programme called The Bereavement Journey. Five weeks long (with an optional 6th week discussing faith questions), this course runs 4 times a year and through film and small facilitated group discussion, supports many hundreds of bereaved people. We use the course to equip and train church volunteers around the country to enable them to run the course in their own community.
Find out more here: The Bereavement Journey - Nationwide
Collaboration with and support for organisations 
We work with organisations in the bereavement, public and private sectors to raise awareness of bereavement and its challenges and to ensure everyone knows where to find support.

A National Signposting Standard
We want anyone encountering bereaved people - whether they be patients, customers, colleagues, pupils, family or friend - to feel confident about referring them to our signposting website, AtaLoss.org.
Signposting to support is recognised as an important service, but this frequently consists of a list of organisations, often the same ones which are often oversubscribed. We believe people deserve the highest standard of service when they are bereaved.
