The National Centre for Childhood Grief is dedicated to helping bereaved children and their families rebuild their lives, by teaching them how to live with their grief. The Centre was established in 1994 by founders Mal and Dianne McKissock, internationally recognised experts in the field of child bereavement and grief counselling.The National Centre for Childhood Grief is a not-for-profit that operates from 'A Friend's Place' in Sydney- where we are today. The Centre has an experienced team of specialist bereavement counsellors and trained volunteer support workers, led by Clinical Director, Dr Elizabeth Mann , ensuring the effective delivery of these important services.The National centre for childhood grief provides free and unlimited grief counselling for bereaved children aged 3 -18 years. They provide grief counselling to recently bereaved adults on a fee-for-service basis. The centre also provides education and training for individuals, schools and other organisations handling the grief of children and young people.Some of you may have already come across the Centres work through the Play School episode 'Beginnings and Endings' The Beginnings and Endings episode was made in consultation with the National Centre for Childhood Grief, who worked with the Play School team throughout the development of the show. The centre recognised that there is currently very little available to help children experiencing grief and that introducing the subject in a gentle, safe environment, as the playschool episode does, is a great way to help children start to understand life and death.Please subscribe, rate and review!Follow us The Loss MothersInstagram @thelossmothersFacebook - The Loss Mothers (facebook.com)Credits:Hosts- Rebecca Gallagher & Caitlin EppsGuest- Dr Elizabeth MannLinks National Centre for Childhood Grief - Providing loving support for children grieving a deathPlay School- Beginnings & Endings - Play School: Beginnings and Endings - Play School - ABC Kids
