Star Bear Campers
SUPPORTINGGRIEVINGCHILDREN ANDYOUNGPEOPLE
S adly, every day nine children are bereaved of a parent in South Australia. The loss of a parent can be deeply painful, particularly since they play such a key role in shaping our lives. Since 2002 AnglicareSA’s free Star Bear and Star Bound camps have supported close to 1,000 grieving children and young people through the debilitating fear and loss they experience after losing a sibling, parent or other significant person. Grief can be very isolating, even within the closest families. Parents and carers often tell us they don’t know how to deal with their own grief let alone how to help their children grieve. Star Bound Family Camps That’s why we have decided to expand our service to now offer Star Bound Family Camps. These camps see families come to camp together and learn as individuals and as a family group how to manage their own grief and how to help each other. It is the only program of its kind in South Australia and it is in high demand.
As you will see from AnglicareSA staff member Jacob’s story, our camps offer children and families a safe place to understand and learn to live with their grief.
