Grief Café provides a safe and supportive space for individuals who are experiencing grief and loss. Designed to be like a café or community space with a casual, inclusive and comforting atmosphere, it is a place where people can come together to share their stories, emotions, and experiences in a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. Led by trained grief counsellors, individuals are guided in navigating their grief journey through open conversations, with all discussions kept confidential.
Centred on shared experiences rather than professional intervention, participants connect with others who understand their grief, fostering a sense of solidarity and validation, finding solace among others who truly understand.
Individuals can decide on their level of participation – some may share openly, while others may prefer to simply listen. In addition, professional facilitation from the trained counsellor provides valuable educational inputs on coping strategies, self-care, and grief awareness. It is a space for comfort, healing, and hope following a profound loss, without deep emotional processing.
