The tsunami

The latest edition of Bereavement Care contains an article on bereavement support at Heathrow Airport after the tsunami. It is written by Debbie Kerslake, Head of Service Planning and Development, Cruse Bereavement Care, London. It describes the services that have been set up in the UK to support those affected. (Bereavement Care 2005 v 24 no 1 pages 3-6). There is also a useful set of weblinks on psychosocial support for tsunami survivors on
p 15 of this issue of Bereavement Care.

The above items can be supplied by the library at St Christopher's - if anyone would like a copy of a workbook to assist children to help express their feelings after the tsunami, please also conact me d.brady@stchristophers.org.uk
