Loss and Grief
Anglicare’s Loss and Grief Centre offers creative
services for people experiencing grief from all kinds of
losses: bereavement, job losses, accidents…
The Centre is run in partnership with Flinders
University. It offers services for people dealing with
loss, education for students and practitioners working
in the field, and opportunities for research.
The centre extends a particular invitation to
Aboriginal Australians, and people from diverse
cultures, who have experienced loss in their lives.
The Loss and Grief Centre is based at 184 Port Road,
Hindmarsh, and you can call them on
8301 4200.
The Star Bear program is a service of the Loss
and Grief Centre, for children who are grieving the loss
of a parent, sibling or carer.

The Refugee Holiday program
Many children who are refugees have
missed out on a childhood of fun and have little to do
over the holidays.
Fun Days Out is a five-day program in
January which give these children activities to look
forward to. It is run in conjunction with STTARS
(Survivors of Torture and Trauma Assistance and
Rehabilitation Service) and Flinders University.
We ran the program in 2007 with great
success (see pic, right) involving 70 children in:
• arts & crafts
• sports
•
music and dancing.
The program plans each year to engage
the children with trips to places around Adelaide such
as the Zoo, on Popeye, and in the Botanical Gardens.
Volunteers are needed to help with
recreational and artistic activities, transport,
navigating, preparing food and supervising small groups
— just having fun with the children!
The program is held mostly at Pulteney
Grammar School on South Terrace, Adelaide, on Monday and
Thursday afternoons over 3 weeks in January 2008.
If you are interested in
