At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
Needs in relation to bereavement are assessed in a variety of ways, which may include:
Assessments used to identify needs related to bereavement can include many possibilities. Some of the potential assessments which can be used to assess needs include:
Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) assessment- a SEMH assessment will assess the child or young person’s mood and emotions. A SEMH assessment will also highlight any mental health difficulties which can be addressed.
Children and young people can be observed in the home, at school or in the community. Observations allow our specialist to see the individual in their daily life, whilst gathering useful information about the best ways to support the child or young person.
Clinical interviews involve our specialist having discussions with relevant people who care for the child or young person e.g. teacher, parent.
A history in addition to an assessment is important for assessing needs around bereavement as it provides information relating to before and after the loss occurred. The comparison of before and after the loss allows us to see the impact of bereavement on the child or young person.
After an assessment takes place, the findings and recommendations will be reported to you. The HSR Psychology professional may make recommendations about what the next steps could be. Next steps may involve a psychological intervention, or coaching around bereavement. Any intervention following the assessment will be tailored specifically to the child or young person using the information gathered in the assessment. By providing tailored services we can help the child or young person to be happy, safe and ready for life’s challenges.
Bereavement can affect a child or young person at any age which is why we provide a range of psychological interventions. Interventions we provide can include:
Interventions are chosen by the HSR Psychology professional for the child, young person, family situation and the details of the bereavement.
