About

Emotional wellbeing and bereavement support

Just ‘B’ is a specialist bereavement support and emotional wellbeing service helping children, young people and adults across the communities of North Yorkshire, as well as offering specialist support regionally and nationally.

 Just ‘B’ is part of independent charity North Yorkshire Hospice Care, a family of services which includes Herriot Hospice Homecare and Saint Michael’s Hospice. Together we offer vital hospice care, emotional wellbeing and bereavement support.

We provide emotional wellbeing and bereavement support, free at the point of need, for children, young people and adults, as well as a range of helplines and specialist services.

Our range of local and national Just ‘B’ services are delivered by a team of specially trained volunteers, staff and students from backgrounds such as counselling, health care, social work and education.

We’ve been offering emotional wellbeing, counselling and bereavement support to communities across the region for more than 10 years, and more recently has stepped up to provide support nationally.

Our support relies on the generous support of the community to continue providing our services, and we make no charge for the support that we offer to our clients.

We recognise and support each person as an individual with unique journeys, experiences and needs, and are passionate about ensuring everyone can access support that is personalised and responsive to their individual needs, regardless of their age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or social circumstances, and without discrimination.
