The Southern Highlands Bereavement Care Service offers counselling to individuals, families, teenagers and children who are experiencing bereavement through the death of a loved one.
The Service also provides counselling to anyone experiencing ambiguous loss; complicated loss; traumatic loss; and life changes or transitions which are accompanied by feelings of grief and loss.
Support is offered to those who are preparing for their own death and to family and friends supporting their loved ones during this time.
Clients are offered a sliding scale of fees based on household income. For anyone experiencing financial hardship, fees can be negotiated and in some cases waived.
