About the event
A chance to reflect on your own grief with other parents and support one another.
Geeta, who has attended a number of the Bereaved Parent Support Group evenings, shared her experience:
“Being able to share (or not) brought a sense of safety in these small groups and has been a welcome space and time to look forward to sharing or contemplating our children and the effect of living without them.”
Future online bereaved parent support groups will be held on:
- Thursday 11 July
- Thursday 22 August
- Thursday 10 October
- Thursday 14 November
Please RSVP here or contact Tracey (tpaech@vsk.org.au) or Chanelle (cburns@vsk.org.au) with any questions.
The Zoom link will be emailed to parents who have expressed their interest prior to the evening.
NOTE – this is a private event for families supported by Very Special Kids.
