About the organiser
Organised by
Children's Grief CentreThe Children's Grief Centre was founded in 2009 by Sr. Helen Culhane and a support group of interested individuals with backgrounds in social work, psychotherapy, general practice, psychiatry and education. Its aim is to provide support to children and young people affected by loss through death, separation or divorce. The Centre provides a safe, non-judgemental space for grieving children and teenagers to explore their experiences of loss. In addition, the Centre strives to raise awareness in the community about grieving as an important part of life that is essential to an individual's ongoing growth and development.
The Children's Grief Centre provides a place where children and young people can come to begin the process of healing with the support of friends, families and trained volunteers. The service is located on Westbourne, Ashbourne Avenue, South Circular Road, Limerick. All services are free of charge to children and young people and are available for as long as they need them.
