Good grief, this hurts! 2025 - Growing Up & Grieving

The theme for this year's Good grief, this hurts! webinar is:  

Growing Up and Grieving: Deepening Our Understanding of Young People's Grief 

Good grief, this hurts! is a free, annual educational event aimed at building community capacity and practical awareness about grief, loss, death and bereavement as experienced by children and young people.  The event is an opportunity to enhance knowledge and skills in supporting a child or young person who is grieving. 

In 2025, the Good grief, this hurts! webinar will explore how children and young people experience and express grief. We’ll unpack the unique challenges they face, the ways grief evolves as they grow, and how adults can offer meaningful support. 

The webinar is open to anyone in the community who is caring for a grieving child or young person.  We warmly welcome to this forum – family members and friends, teachers, guidance counsellors, healthcare providers, private counsellors/psychologists and community-based youth focused organisations.

Registered participants will receive a link to join the live event in October 2025. In the event of your inability to attend live webinar, a recording will be shared with you afterwards.
