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 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, bereavement counselling and support to communities across the region for more than 10 years, and more recently has stepped up to provide support nationally. Our bereavement support is provided across the Harrogate, Hambleton and Richmondshire districts, and we offer specialist, tailored support across wider North Yorkshire, as well as regionally and nationally.
Our support is almost entirely community-funded and we rely on the generosity of grants, partners and those who access our services to continue providing our support.
Just ‘B’ is a trauma-informed organisation. This means we recognise the impact trauma exposure can have on an individual, group or community. Trauma-informed practice aims to increase our awareness of how trauma impacts those we support, and their ability to feel safe and develop trusting relationships when they access our support.
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.
Some Just ‘B’ services are funded by grants or through commissioned services. Find out more.
