Welcome to Grief Relief
Grief Relief supports and educates with sound information, stories, tools, skills and strategies for understanding loss and grief, managing self and supporting others.
Grief Relief is an online and mobile service providing support and education in the home, community and workplace for individuals, families and groups. The how, what and where varies according to each client’s unique needs and circumstances.
Grief Relief works with young and mature adults grieving loss of any kind. Support for younger children is provided by working with their parents or caregivers.
Support is also available for those working in support roles in a personal or professional capacity, with self-care an important part of this. Education in the community and workplace is delivered through presentations, facilitated conversations and workshops.
Grief Relief is based in the Hutt Valley, Wellington, New Zealand. Inquiries from outside of this region are welcome.
