The mission of the Children’s Grief Centre is to provide support for school aged children and young people affected by loss through death, separation or divorce. We offer a safe and supportive place for children, young people and their families who are grieving. The service is provided by trained and experienced people.
Children are given the opportunity to look at feelings associated with loss and learn that they are not alone. We aim to help children overcome obstacles that prevent them from leading full lives. In addition, the Children’s Grief Centre strives to educate the community that grieving is an important part of life and is essential to an individual’s ongoing growth and development.
Caring: Through listening – we give children a space to talk, share, ask questions and explore their emotions

Non-judgemental: Our role is never to judge, sway opinion or arbitrate between parents.

Teamwork: We have a team of professionals with a combination of skills and qualifications.
