Programs

Lionheart is here to help children and teens navigate their grief journey following the death of a loved one. We want children, teens, families, schools and the community to understand grief as a natural, healthy and normal response to loss.

Our programs are focused on educating children and teens about grief and loss, while also engaging the adults in their life, ensuring that the whole family unit is strengthened and empowered on their grief journey. We provide a safe, fun-filled space for kids to explore and understand grief and recognise that while grief is one part of their life, it doesn’t need to define them. Our programs also offer opportunities for parents and grandparents to learn about childhood grief and how to manage their own grief while supporting their child/ren.

In addition to grief education, Lionheart programs offer a special opportunity for families to connect with a compassionate community of others who understand what it is like to experience child grief due to the death of a parent or sibling. 

There are two primary ways to begin your Lionheart journey:

If your loved one died more than 6 months ago, our New Families Camp is recommended for you.

If your loved one has died more recently (within the past 12 months) or has an advanced serious illness, our Raw to Roar: Lionheart Grief Pathway is for you.

Once you have attended our foundational New Families Camp, Lionheart has designed a suite of follow-on programs that give you and your family the opportunity to check-in and connect as and when you need.
