No child should grieve alone.
We are a not-for-profit organisation empowering bereaved children, teens and families to navigate their grief journey through education, peer-support, strength-building and resilience.
What We Do
Did you know approximately 1 in 20 children in Australia experience the death of a parent or sibling during childhood? Lionheart provides grief support for children in WA through caring, peer-based programs that help families feel less alone.
Our Approach to Grief Support for Children
Lionheart exists to help families overcome the challenges following the death of a loved one and improve life outcomes for bereaved children. Whether it’s online or in-person, we provide a safe, fun-filled space for both children and their families to explore and understand their grief.

New Families Camp
Lionheart offers grief support for children in WA through a variety of services, including our signature New Families Camp, one-on-one grief coaching, and family events. Whether it’s online or in-person, every interaction is designed to support children, teens and caregivers after the death of an Important Person.
New Families Camp is one of two entry points into Lionheart programs. This 2-day program (not overnight) is for children aged 5-17 years who have experienced the death of a loved one. This program is attended by the children in the family as well as their primary caregiver. Following that, Lionheart families are invited to attend our other bereavement programs to continue to build on the skills needed to navigate their ongoing grief journey.

Our Ambassador
A lionheart is a person of exceptional courage and bravery.
The Parker Family are Lionheart’s Ambassador Family for 2025 and know first-hand what it is like to live with grief. They lost their Dad/Husband in 2022 and attended their first Lionheart camp in October 2022.
Resources for grieving children and families
We want children and families to recognise that while grief is one part of their life, it doesn’t need to define them. Everyone’s grief journey is different and will evolve in different ways over time. Our resources are available as a guide and here for you to access when you need.
