BEREAVEMENT & LOSS

Stronger Together: Bereavement and Loss: Support for children and young people. This film was a Catcher Media presentation for Phoenix at St Giles Hospice.

A group of young people associated with St Giles Hospice in Lichfield worked with Catcher Media to devise and take part in filming a powerful and honest film about bereavement, which would be used in supporting other young people cope with bereavement.

They also designed branding with Catcher Media’s graphic designer, which will be used in publicity.

The main film contains five episodes: (1) When Someone Dies, (2) Emotions, (3) Adults & School, (4) Talking to Someone, and (5) Stronger together.
