Bereavement and Counselling Supports for Staff

Written on 01/04/2022


The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact across the globe on our experiences of death, dying and bereavement. There are a number of supports and services for staff who have been bereaved or are supporting people who have bereaved.

  • Find dedicated pages on HSE.ie
  • Call the National Bereavement Support Line (Freephone 1800 80 70 77, 10am to 1pm, Monday to Friday), which provides a confidential space for people to talk or get support about bereavement.

The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a free, confidential support service that aims to provide the right wellbeing supports and interventions for staff and service managers, at the right time.

Access the EAP Inspire Support Hub or call 0818 327 327 to speak to someone who can help.
