March & April Update from the Grief Centre 🌸

March to April Update

As our physical season changes to Autumn, our emotional season changes too, with each change bringing it's own reminders of loss. To help ease the transitions, we are focusing on mindfulness through creative and therapeutic workshops in April.

We also wish to welcome those who have recently joined the GCWA community. We've included some links below to our ongoing support services for you to read and share with your loved ones.

With gratitude and warmth, from the GCWA Team 🌸
