HAVING SOMEONE TO TURN TO G rief is our natural response to the loss of someone or something we care deeply about. AnglicareSA provides Loss and Grief counselling support to individuals and families to manage this often challenging life event. We work closely with those seeking our help by listening to their thoughts and concerns and providing valuable expert advice. Our loss and grief services support people of all ages, including 13-year-old Nathan* who was coming to terms with losing his vision (see story on page 10). We were able to book Nathan into counselling sessions to talk though his concerns, set short and long-term goals, and meet other teenagers in his situation. Fortunately, Nathan is more accepting and positive about his future. AnglicareSA’s counselling support is provided at low or no cost to individuals. We rely solely on donations to provide this expertise and support, but unfortunately, due to high demand, we can't always provide immediate help to those in need. Donations to our Autumn Appeal will help us: • Grow our team by 2 Loss and grief Counsellors • Reduce the booking and waiting time between sessions
• Extend our services further to reach 14 more families each week struggling with loss • Continue to provide counselling support at low or no cost • Purchase resources required to support clients during sessions By making a donation today, you will change the lives of those dealing with grief and help them find
renewed hope and optimism. Thank you for your support.
