We invite all 5 to 12 year old bereaved siblings to drop into our zoom session each month.

About the event

*Note new date – Thursday 5 December*

 

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.

 

Please register your interest with Janelle on jphillips@vsk.org.au or 0428 240 031.
The Zoom link will be provided upon expression of interest.
