The Compassionate Friends QLD Inc

The Compassionate Friends is an international self-help support organisation for bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents grieving the loss of a child. We offer friendship and understanding by reaching out to bereaved parents, to the surviving siblings and other family members to support them in the grief and trauma which follows the death of a child, through a range of support services and resources.

Bereaved parents and family members often find the need to talk to someone who has had an experience similar to their own and who truly understand. This allows many to draw comfort from the stories of other parents who have been there and learn from their accounts. All bereaved family members are welcome. The Compassionate Friends is non-denominational, it has no religious affiliation.
