Compassionate Communities<\/h2>\n

Suffolk Community Libraries is working with St Elizabeth Hospice as part of their Compassionate Communities project to help share books and resources about bereavement to help all ages understand and manage grief.<\/p>\n

Compassionate Communities gives you the tools to help others whether it be at work, through community events or simply how to support a neighbour going through a bereavement. By developing these skills, we can build the confidence and resilience needed to care for one another before and after end of life.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
