Nelson's Journey aims to:

Increase self esteem and self efficacy

Enable families to talk openly about death and bereavement

Enable children to express and understand emotions



In a school of 400 pupils 392 had not experienced the death of a significant person in their life

Whilst on camp, a 9 year old boy drew the picture above which clearly demonstrates the isolation bereaved children can experience. Camp gives the children the opportunity to express how they feel and talk about ways of coping with this.
