About the event

We know from speaking with many children grief can be a lonely time. ‘Our Space’ has been created to offer opportunity for regular ongoing connection with other children who have experienced the death of a brother of sister. The aim is to provide a safe and caring online space for siblings to gather to have fun, connect and share experiences on a monthly basis, as we have learnt from children how valuable peer support can be.

Our Space will also be held on the following dates:

• Thursday 28 August
• Thursday 18 September
• Thursday 30 October
• Thursday 4 December

Please register your interest with Damienne (dmor@vsk.org.au or 0487 523 155) or Meg (mchin@vsk.org.au or 0408 162 411).
The Zoom link will be provided upon expression of interest.

About the event

During the April school holidays, we invite primary-school aged siblings of children registered with Very Special Kids to come and spend a day connecting and having fun.

The day will include a range of active, creative and therapeutic activities (and a tasty lunch!)

We understand things are always changing which can be a little bit scary, but also exciting! We will explore:

• Who the siblings of Very Special Kids hope they’ll be in the future?
• What about them do they think will change over time, and what will stay the same?
• How have they changed and grown already?
• What strategies can be used to adapt to change?

If your kids would like to explore these questions, have fun and connect with other Very Special Kids’ siblings then please RSVP here by Friday 4 April. If you have any queries, please contact Justine (jrice@vsk.org.au or 0417 151 096) or Andrew (amartell@vsk.org.au or 0417 543 514).
