Grief Counsellor Training

The Bonnie Babes Foundation's grief counselling services are provided by professionally trained and caring individuals. Although it is not a prerequisite for counselling, many of our counsellors have suffered the unfortunate loss of a baby, and therefore have a first-hand appreciation of the experience.

The Bonnie Babes Foundation Grief Counselling Certificate training for peer support counsellors is presented over two days. It equips peer support counsellors with the ability to listen to and validate effectively the grief of an individual experiencing a pregnancy loss through miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth.

Grief Counsellors learn strategies to help individuals in their journey through the grief process and counsellors are encouraged to recognise and work within their level of expertise.

Counsellors are offered follow up supervision and support from our honorary Psychologist Dr Diane McGreal (Dip. Teach, BA Grad. Dip. Clin.Hypn, MAPs, MASH Psychologist, MedPsych) and other experienced counsellors.

If you would like to join our caring team of dedicated counsellors, please contact the Foundation by telephoning (03) 9803 1800, fax on (03) 9803 2699 or enquiry@bbf.org.au
