The brief

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is looking to procure for Public Mental Wellbeing Programme: Lot 1: Community Bereavement Support Service for Children Young People and Families; Lot 2: Community Bereavement Support Service for Adults.

How we respond to those who are bereaved can have a long-term impact on how they grieve, their health and their memories of the individual who has died.

Bereavement can result in clinical depression, anxiety states, panic syndromes, and posttraumatic stress disorder and is associated with increased risk of mortality, greater use of health services, and subsequent poor mental and physical health.

Bereavement can also trigger loneliness, and increased social isolation.

For many people, bereavement also brings life changes and practical challenges, including dealing with the administration of the death and taking on new responsibilities, just at a time when they may feel vulnerable and overwhelmed.

Lot 1: The overall aim of this service is to provide low level emotional and practical support to Children, Young People and Families (CYPF) who have been bereaved, reducing stigma, supporting them to grieve and preventing the escalation of distress by offering early intervention.

Lot 2: The overall aim of this service is to provide low level emotional and practical support to Adults who have been bereaved, reducing stigma, supporting them to grieve and preventing the escalation of distress by offering early intervention.

Both Services will provide a range of support options to address the social, emotional, and practical needs of those who have been bereaved.

Both lots will be delivered independently but remain connected to Blackburn with Darwen's wider Public Mental Wellbeing Programme, complementing two existing contracted services already being delivered: (1) Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Training and Engagement (2) Men's Mental Wellbeing Service.
