SEMPHN commissions Griefline to support Australians in their grief by providing space to be heard without judgement or labels and offering hope and healing after loss.
Their compassionate telephone support counsellors are available via toll-free national helpline (Ph: 1300 845 745), 6am to midnight, 7 days. They also connect help-seekers through online community and forums and provide psychoeducation tools and resources, wellbeing practices and coping strategies on their website.
Everyone should feel supported in their grief and loss and accept it as a normal human experience. However, 1 in 10 bereaved people will develop a chronic form of grief, impairing both mental and physical health.
The service supports consumers, family members and carers who are experiencing loss and grief. These services specifically address the local needs of culturally and linguistically diverse people, consumers with mental ill-health, as well as people who work in emergency services and youth.
For more information, visit the Griefline website or contact the toll-free national helpline on 1300 845 745.
