SUMMARY:Grief Awareness Month (AU)
DESCRIPTION:Grief Awareness Month recognises the impact of grief and loss on individuals\, families and communities. Grief can follow death\, illness\, relationship breakdown\, miscarriage or major life change\, and it affects people in different ways and at different times. \nThe day encourages open conversations about grief\, compassion for those experiencing loss and greater awareness of support services available across Australia. \nWhy it matters\n\nGrief is a natural response to loss\, but it affects people differently and does not follow a set timeline.\nMany people experience grief in silence due to social discomfort\, stigma or lack of understanding from others.\nUnrecognised or unsupported grief can affect mental health\, physical well-being\, relationships and the ability to function day to day.\nGrief may follow death\, illness\, relationship breakdown\, miscarriage or other significant life changes.\nAwareness helps normalise grief and encourages compassionate responses from families\, workplaces\, schools and communities.\nAccess to appropriate support can reduce isolation and help people navigate loss in healthier ways.\n\nGrief Awareness Month recognises the impact of grief and loss and encourages open conversation\, understanding and access to support for those who are grieving. \nEvent Co-ordination / Support\nInternational \n\nWhat’s Your Grief\nInternational grief education organisation providing evidence-informed resources\, education and advocacy to improve grief understanding and support.\n\nAustralia \n\nNational Association for Loss and Grief\nNALAG\, organiser of Grief Awareness Month\, provides free loss + grief support across Australia for individuals\, groups and communities facing loss or trauma.
