IN a time where there is so much loss, the BAFDT Community Support Group is here to lend a listening ear and a comforting support.

Like many organisations, BAFDT Community Support Group, had to close its doors during the lockdown period and offer counselling via online platforms. The group will introduce its in-person grief share meetings on Tuesday evening, 9 February at 6.30pm at the WOW Centre on 221 Austerville Drive, Wentworth. Trauma and debriefing also available to the community. 

“With so many people loosing their lives due to the plague of Covid-19. Many people are left devastated with unanswered questions and have no closure. Let’s get together and help the families or individuals to try and put the pieces together as we try and move forward with life without our loved ones. It’s very difficult but also important that we allow ourselves to grief. Free counselling and grief share is available,” said the organisation’s founder, Audrey Anderson.

BAFDT is a non-profit organisation which offers free group and one-on-one counselling and support, grief share, trauma de-briefing, domestic violence counselling, psycho social counselling, emotional and psychological support.
