SIDS and Kids Family Services
Bereavement Counselling and Support
The death of a child is a tragic and devastating event.
The journey through the grief process takes time, empathy, understanding and support. A strong support structure is an essential component in allowing families to “own” and normalize their grief, understanding that they are experiencing a “normal” reaction to an abnormal event in their lives.
|
SIDS and Kids Hunter Region provide a unique combination of peer support and professional counselling. Research has indicated the benefits of peer bereavement support, and similar services providing bereavement support indicates the positive benefits of such support.
|
It is important, in the provision of service, to be attuned to the needs of the bereaved and develop the service accordingly. Through our family services program, we aim to achieve this, through a variety of activities.
