Dorset Open Door

Dorset Open Door supports people who have been bereaved or affected by a death where the cause may be suicide or be particularly traumatic or sudden. We also offer support to those who are bereaved by COVID-19.

In these instances often the grieving process can be even more complicated, distressing, uncertain and confusing, regardless of the time that may have passed. Dorset Open Door, acknowledges that everyone has a different experience of bereavement. The team will listen to you and in the context of your personal experience, circumstance, strengths and resources help you to navigate support and advice that is right for you.

The service also provides support for professionals or those seeking advice for others.
