How do we talk about bereavement in an extra care setting?

In our latest Housing Blog Caity Roleston, doctoral researcher in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at Aston University, writes about The Bereavement Supporter Project.

The Bereavement Supporter Project is a public health project being piloted by the ExtraCare Charitable Trust. It studies the ways in which older people can be supported when bereaved, and how that support can be delivered in an extra care setting.

Dr Roleston concludes that the project is “a valuable initiative that has elicited meaningful change for individuals".
