Peer and Group Support

Sometimes it can be comforting to connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through. Our peer and group support services offer a safe space to share your feelings, find understanding, and build connections with others on a similar journey. Our support groups are facilitated by trained Peer Supporters, helping to normalise emotions and experiences, while providing guidance and empathy.

Community Connections

Our Community Connections events offer a relaxed and supportive space for parents and families who have experienced the loss of a child to connect with others. These non-facilitated events—like BBQs, run clubs, picnics, and more—provide an opportunity to find healthy distractions, share stories, and create lasting bonds in a fun and casual setting. Join us for a chance to meet others who understand your journey and build connections that can help you heal.
