upcoming information sessions

• Do you have questions about grief? 
• Are you wondering if what you're thinking or feeling is normal? 
• Are you concerned about how best to support someone else who is grieving?

I have partnered with another Sydney-based grief counsellor, Wendy Liu from The Session, to offer live, online information sessions to answer your questions and provide practical strategies to help you manage your own grief and help others who are grieving.

In these sessions we will discuss a range of topics including:

• what are the physical and emotional impacts of grief?
• how long does grief last?
• how can I manage the practical challenges of bereavement (e.g. deciding what to do with someone's belongings)?
• how do children grieve and how can I support a child who is grieving?
• what are the specific challenges faced by people after the death of a spouse, a parent, a child, a sibling, friend or other relative?
• what strategies will help me to cope as well as possible?

 Who can attend?

• anyone experiencing grief and bereavement
• anyone wanting to support someone experiencing grief and bereavement
• professionals who want to build their knowledge and skills or are looking for information following their own experience of bereavement
• professionals who want to attend a session themselves before referring their patients and clients

How much does it cost?

We are offering these sessions for FREE as we want to make sure that anyone who needs this information is able to access it. We are particularly aware that many people have lost jobs and experienced a reduction in their income because of the impacts of COVID-19. We do not want anyone to miss out on these sessions because of their financial circumstances.

We are asking that people who have not experienced a reduction in their income consider paying to attend this session. This payment will be used to cover the costs of running these sessions and ensure more sessions in the future, including offering free spots to those who need them.

People who attended previous session said:

"The subject of grief is not something that's widely taught or spoken about. I can't believe how much I learnt in that one session alone."

"Both presenters were clear, organized and informative. I will definitely be tuning in again for your sessions"

"Everyone says that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, but I felt the presentation gave this weight"

Our next Grief Information Sessions will take place on:

Wednesday 18th November at 7pm (AEDT): Click here to reserve your place

Tuesday 15th December at 6.30pm (AEDT): Click here to reserve your place
