Supporting bereaved families
following the loss of a child Self-care help to improve the well being of the whole family Self-Refer

All families bereaved by the loss of a child should receive the support they need, when they need it, for as long as they need it.

This is why families can now self-refer through our website so we can begin putting support in place quickly. Once you have completed the self-referral we will contact you with in one working day.

Self-Refer

Love, Jasmine was established by Rob and Kathy Lapsley following the death of their daughter Jasmine in August 2014. Their experiences following Jasmine's death meant that they had a greater understanding of the types of support that should be available for families who have lost a child and they set up a charity that they felt would meet those needs.

OUR STORY

Love, Jasmine offers one to one support to bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings. This can be offered face to face at our Liverpool office or remotely if you can't get to us.

Love, Jasmine provides Support Groups for parents and siblings. Parents Support Groups can be accessed face to face in Liverpool or online.

Comics Youth was founded in 2015 and is a creative community organisation led by young people, for young people. Our aim is to empower youth across the Liverpool City Region to flourish from the margins of society: Harnessing their own narratives, finding confidence within an inclusive community, and developing the resilience to succeed on their own path.

We offer a range of creative services designed to support and amplify the often diminished voices of marginalised young people aged 8 - 25. From zine creation and comic book reading workshops to youth-led publishing hubs and AQA Unit Award Scheme programmes, we believe young people deserve to have their voices discovered, distributed, and elevated.

Welcome to the Trans Support Service (TSS) provided by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. The following information outlines the service that we offer and where it fits into the local gender dysphoria pathway.

Our Trans Support Service supports transgender, and gender non-conforming people aged 18 upwards living in Liverpool, Sefton, and Knowsley, by listening to and informing them of available options to relieve their gender distress and empowering them to move forward with their lives. You can usually be referred to the service by your GP, but you may also self-refer via this website

The service is not a pre-requisite to access any other Gender Identity services and is not a medical service linked with transition pathways. Find out further information about Gender Identity Clinics (GIC's).

The Transgender Support Service offers a safe therapeutic space to discuss issues directly related to gender identity only. It provides an assessment of your needs and up to a maximum of 12 sessions (including assessment) of therapy. This will be focused only on your gender needs and identity and will not directly treat any mental health needs.

Each person who accesses the service will have different hopes for what they might get out of their sessions. You might want to talk about your personal history, and how your gender identity has impacted upon your life, including the impact of transitioning upon partners, family and friends. You may consider your life goals, obstacles to progress, and strengths and resources that might be employed to overcome them. Your individualised plan will be co-produced between you and your therapist and will encompass some shared decisions.

Your individualised plan will be co-produced between you and your therapist and will encompass some shared decisions.

Accessing TSS service

You can access TSS service to:

Discuss issues in relation to your gender identity, ie: gender questioning, gender, exploring gender, social transitioning in the process of or having completed transition.

Seek psychological support and wellbeing advice to relieve gender distress

Seek information about support groups available in the area

Please note, our TSS service is not:

Part of the assessment process for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria

A pre-requisite to access any other service relating to gender affirming treatment

For medical advice regarding gender affirming medical interventions

A crisis service, in case of emergency please ring emergency services on 999 or contact your G.P.

Please consider the following exclusion criteria prior to referral:

If you are currently accessing psychological/counselling therapy*

If you are currently undergoing medical interventions to transition**

If you require support for you mental and/or physical health and it does non-gender related***

* If you are currently being seen by another NHS or private therapy, counselling, or psychological service, it would not be appropriate to be seen by our service concurrently

** Should you feel that you require psychological support, please discuss this with your current GIC service provider and/or G.P. who can review and advise as appropriate.

*** If you require support on matters relating to your physical or mental health, we encourage you to speak with your G.P. who can advise you on these matters.

You can also access support on matters relating to your health and wellbeing and there are excellent services dedicated to this, by offering peer support, learning and social prescribing, such as the Life Rooms, operated by Mersey Care NHS Trust and other 3rd sector services.

Due to significant waiting times to access Gender Identity Clinics, we would encourage you to seek a referral to your chosen GIC from your G.P. at your earliest given opportunity or again, you can also self refer to these.

Self referral to the service

Self refer using our online web form.

Or you can call us on 0151 247 6555, ask for the Trans Support service and we will arrange a time for one of our therapists to contact you.

Support and advice is also available from other organisations

To reduce levels of social isolation for individuals whom are feeling suicidal.

To improve levels of community support in Knowsley for individuals with depression / anxiety.

To improve awareness amongst the local community of how to support people whom maybe feeling suicidal.

Barbara Bettle was sadly taken by Suicide in 2015.

Barbara was a lovely person with a loving family, daughter, loads of friends and an all-round good person.

Barbara was in full time employment, was a member of various volunteer organisations and was a massive Evertonian and it was never expected that she would have taken her own life. The impact of her death had devastating impact on family, friends, work colleagues and friends in general, all in absolute shock that something like this would happen to Barbara.

We know Barbara case is similar to many in people are left in total shock and are left to adapt to a world without this person. This foundation aims to help those people and also work to prevent suicides were possible. Do you know that people are 3 times more likely to have a recurrent suicide in family after a suicide?

All services are delivered to support both individuals and families and aim to save lives in Barbaras memory.

Why you need vitamin D

To keep bones and muscles healthy, everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement in autumn and winter, when we cannot make vitamin D from sunlight.

And some people who are at risk of not getting enough vitamin D should take them all year round.

Just 10 micrograms a day is all you need - it's the same for kids and grown-ups.

Community Support

Spending time out and about in the community is really important for all of us, and Merseyside communities are some of the best to be a part of. With our Community Support service, we'll support you to get out and about in Liverpool, feel more confident on your own, learn life skills and make new friends.

What is Community Support?

Some people prefer to have somebody with them to give them some support when they need it while they're out and about in the community - and that's where we can help.

With our Community Support service, you'll have a support worker who'll go out and about around Liverpool with you, keep you company and support you to do what you want.

We can show you all the fab ways you can get involved with things near where you live - like clubs and activities - and support you to get involved. We even have two brilliant day centres of our own with loads to see and do.

Who's Community Support for?

Community Support is a service for people who are living with:

a physical disability;

a learning disability;

an acquired brain injury;

sensory impairment; and/or

a mental health condition.

If that sounds like you, you're over the age of 16 and don't quite feel ready or able to go out in the community on your own, Community Support can help you.

What will Community Support do for me?

Community Support can help you to enjoy life and get more confidence and independence. There's lots of different ways your support worker can help you with practical advice and help.

You can get help with:

learning and education opportunities;

jobs;

budgeting and managing your money;

making friends and getting social skills;

travelling on your own;

getting more confidence;

going to services which can help you get more life skills; and

general information and advice as you go through life.

How Community Support works for you

Before you head out into the community, your support worker will ask you about your hopes and dreams, what you want to do in the community and what you want to get from it.

You'll then create a support plan together, based on all of these things. We might give you some ideas of things you might like to get involved with, but it'll be based on you.

This will give them lots of ideas about how you want to spend your time. They might also suggest new things you can do.

What do people think about Community Support?

Every year we ask the people who use our services to tell us their favourite things about our service and which things we need to do better. Here's what people said about Community Support in 2019.

How do I get Community Support?

You can ask your social worker, a family member or a doctor. They can get in touch with us and apply for you to use our Community Support service.

The person they need to contact is Karol Zwolinski.

W E WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW SOME OF THE LOVELY THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SANCTUARY FAMILY SUPPORT :

This e-mail off the Live Well Directory for Sanctuary Family Support

My name is Ryan - I am a GP at Princes Park and Brownlow.

I wanted to feedback that I have a number of patients who are/have been supported by yourselves. The feedback I have received from them is exceptional, people cannot speak highly enough for the work you do and the compassion you do it with. Also that you go the extra mile for them regularly.

It is also nice to have feedback so thought I would pass this on, and pass on my own thanks for supporting my patients going through very challenging situations.

Many Thanks

Ryan

I needed to attend a police interview and the same solicitor set me up with a criminal legal representative. He also provided sound legal counsel but also helped reassure me that I didn't have anything to worry about with regards the police matter. All this and not any point did anyone mention fees. They just wanted to help.

Others at the Paul Lavelle Foundation engage with me on a regular basis just to check in, and see how I'm getting on. They offer advice, reassurance, and help me see the path I need to take.

This isn't just an organisation to me now. It's become a band of people that really have my back. They help me see that I will come through this.

Throughout your life, people touch your heart, and maybe when your at your lowest you feel that touch more, but I will never forget what the Paul Lavelle Foundation has done / is doing for me.

If you're reading this and considering contacting them, do not hesitate.

Heartfelt thanks to all those involved."

We have continued contact even now when my little girl is 12 weeks old. The classes are informative and made me feel so much more prepared for our little angel. I would definitely recommend."

"Baby Massage has been wonderful, a really relaxed session which has helped my baby with his colic and wind immensely. I would highly recommend the classes and the price was incredible. A course so good we have done it twice! Thank you."
