OCEANS Grief and Loss is a peer support programme for children, teens, and adults who have experienced loss in their life. The losses usually come from the death of a significant person, or a personal experience of separation/divorce. The focus of this programme is providing a safe environment for participants to talk about their loss/es and the change/s that have occurred then look ahead to a preferred future living and coping with the loss/change. We meet once a week for eight weeks in the children's programme and six weeks for the teen and adult's programme. We have seen many people go through the programme and have numerous success stories of how it has helped (Over 500 since Oceans started in 2006).

To enroll in a grief and loss programme please visit the website: https://www.anglicancare.org.nz or phone Matt on 0800 OCEANS or 027 4 OCEANS (ie. 623267) or email oceans.timaru@gmail.com for more information
