Biographical Info
The Grief Centre has provided counselling, support groups, resources, education and training, and bereavement support to New Zealanders for over 15 years.
Our mission is to support every person through their individual loss and grief journey by providing quality counselling, resources, and support groups; sourcing necessary funding; delivering appropriate training, education and research opportunities; partnering with aligned organisations; and effectively engaging with our communities.
Our Kaupapa is to support every person, regardless of financial circumstance. We provide loss and grief counselling, resources and support groups for youth, adults, families and whānau experiencing any form of significant loss. We have local counsellors available in Taranaki for in-person, over the phone or online through zoom.
We also run a professional education and training programme, present at community talks and events, and we partner with funeral homes to provide grief care after funerals.
