I would like to proudly announce that the Northside Parent Bereavement Group officially became an incorporation on the 4th of October 2013. The objectives of this group are to:
- provide a regular and safe meeting place for parents who have experienced the loss of a child during pregnancy, birth, or up to the age of 8
- provide an accepting environment
- educate the community about bereavement.
In November last year we held a successful fundraising event that raised over $1,500.00. These funds will assist in providing regular parent support meetings, promotion of the group and community education activities.
The group meets at 127 Roscommon Road Boondall every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10am-12 noon. It is a free service and morning tea is provided. Please make a note in your diary of the following dates for 2014:
19 February, 19 March, 16 April, 21 May, 18 June, 16 July, 20 August, 17 September, 15 October, 19 November, 17 December
The group is facilitated by Ms Francis Borg, who is a professional counsellor. There is no limit on grief. The group is there to provide support regardless of when you experienced your loss (or when your loss occurred).
Contact details for the group are at the top of the page. I look forward to your continued support and welcome any inquiries and newcomers.

President, Northside Parent Bereavement Group Inc
