RD4U (Road for You)

Description:

RD4U aims to provide support for young people following bereavement. You can add messages or reply to existing message on the Message Board - after you submit your message, it needs to be approved by a moderator before it will appear on the board. The site also includes a "Personal" section where you can read about how other people coped in difficult situations, and you can also share your own experiences. Additionally, you can play various games in the "Fun zone" and there is a "Lads only" page to encourage lads to get involved.
