Galway University Hospitals Bereavement Support Services and the Irish Hospice Foundation have recently launched the ‘Galway Grief Sherpa Network’.
The network is a new bereavement support initiative established to promote organisations that provide bereavement support in Galway City and County.
It includes 28 community bereavement organisations made up of hospital, hospice, and community staff and groups that work together to increase awareness of bereavement and awareness of local bereavement services.
Members of the network include both statutory and non-government organisations and was officially launched by the Cathaoirleach of Galway County Council and the Mayor of Galway City.
The Network is now available to the public through Galway University Hospitals Bereavement Support Service, the Galway Grief Sherpa Networks, and online, via the Irish Hospice Foundation under the Galway Grief Sherpa Network.
Members of the Galway Grief Sherpa Network will hold a public Bereavement Information Awareness event upstairs in the Eyre Square Shopping Centre, across from Penny’s, on Saturday the 02 November from 11am to 4pm.
Also on the day, there will be free directories available to the public, outlining all the bereavement support services available in Galway City and County.
