Online Lounges are held monthly. There are three online lounges – one each for parents/carers, youth, and younger children; with helpful topics, stories and support specific to each group.

Held monthly via Zoom, each lounge session is designed to provide a safe and supportive discussion space. These discussions will be facilitated by a psychologist, providing support within the session. At the conclusion of the session the psychologist can provide feedback and referral services if needed and where necessary, write case notes on any concerns for individuals or families.

Most importantly, these lounges will allow participants to share their advice and grief journeys with each other, forming long-lasting connections and community.
