OUR STORY 

Fresh Minds Education was founded by Aine and Adam following the death of their baby daughter, Amber. 

Their lived experience of bereavement, together with professional backgrounds in education, youth work, counselling and creative practice, and specialist postgraduate study in bereavement and loss, shaped support that is practical, compassionate and grounded in real family life. 

They recognised that children need support through grief, but so do the parents, carers, teachers and trusted adults walking alongside them. 

Amber’s legacy continues through Fresh Minds Education, the AMBER Approach and the Bamber Bereavement Support Service, helping children and families feel understood, supported and less alone. 

LOVE, MADE PRACTICAL 

We identify unmet needs and create original, evidence-informed resources and support that people can use in real life. 

Grief and emotional distress are individual. Our work responds to different ages, needs, relationships and experiences rather than assuming there is one right way to cope.
