CHILDHOOD GRIEF EDUCATION AND SUPPORT
I just love Feel the Magic and can see through my own experience how beneficial this would have been as a young child growing up after the death of my Dad.
Feel the Magic® is an Australian not for profit organisation whose purpose is to create a world where children who are experiencing grief are supported to reach their full potential. Grieving children who have experienced the death of someone they love can feel isolated and alone. They require ongoing support in developing strategies to cope with and move forward with their lives following a significant loss. The mission of Feel the Magic® is to create environments where children who are experiencing grief can be inspired and empowered to succeed in spite of their loss. |
