Making a difference
in the lives of children
and young people affected by loss

Our Mission

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.

Our Aim

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.

Our Values

Caring: Through listening – we give children a space to talk, share, ask questions and explore their emotions

Safety: We offer a safe place that helps children feel calm, secure and welcomed.

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

Acceptance: We work with children across all backgrounds, cultures, and religions.

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

How you can help us to help them

Every month we host events, workshops and fundraiser days to add value to the service we provide.
