Grief Support
For Families

Our Support Groups

Our Goulburn Grief Support Group meets monthly and welcomes anyone coping with loss, whether it’s recent or something you’ve been dealing with for a while. Our group provides a safe, supportive environment where you can share your feelings, connect with others, or simply listen and find comfort in the presence of those who understand.

In addition to our Grief Support Group, we work closely with Sam Sellers from Anchored Counselling Services in Goulburn. Sam is an experienced therapist who specialises in grief and trauma, offering compassionate support to help you through the complexities of loss. We’re here to connect you with Sam’s expertise, ensuring you receive the thoughtful care and guidance you need.
