Grief Support Services

Welcome to Grief Support Services, an establishment and point of interest located at 147 Chadwick Road in Tauranga, New Zealand. We are dedicated to providing counseling and information for individuals and families who are experiencing grief and loss within the Western Bay of Plenty region. At Grief Support Services, we believe in creating communities where no one has to face their tears alone.

Our institution offers community support in all areas of loss and grief. We understand that navigating through the pain of losing a loved one or coping with difficult circumstances can be overwhelming. Therefore, we provide subsidized counseling services to individuals, children, and families/whanau who are struggling with grief and loss.

Since 1987, Grief Support Services has been actively working within the community. Our location in Greerton, Tauranga allows us to serve the entire Western Bay of Plenty region. We strive to be a pillar of support and a source of comfort for those who are going through challenging times.

To stay updated with the latest news and events, we encourage you to visit our blog and follow us on our social media platforms. Additionally, our event page provides information on upcoming meetings, support groups, and other gatherings.

As part of our commitment to creating a nurturing environment, we proudly display beautiful original artworks by local Bay of Plenty artists on our walls. These colorful and expressive artworks are also available for purchase, allowing you to support local talent while finding solace in our space.

We are dedicated to expanding our reach and helping even more individuals and families/whanau in the Western Bay of Plenty. Therefore, we are inviting expressions of interest from local businesses to partner with us in supporting our mission.

We warmly invite you to our safe space, where you can find hope, offer support, and connect with others who understand the profound grief that follows a loss to suicide. Our monthly groups held in Tauranga and Papamoa provide a supportive environment for individuals bereaved by suicide. Additionally, our WAVES program is an 8-week grief education group that aids adults in understanding and managing their grief, while developing resilience.

At Grief Support Services, we also have volunteers with lived experience of suicide bereavement who provide one-to-one support to others going through a similar journey. We offer counseling, support groups, training, and information for anyone affected by a loss to suicide or impacted by someone's suicidal behavior.

Join us at Grief Support Services, where we strive to provide solace, understanding, and guidance during life's most difficult moments. Together, we can navigate the path of grief and find healing.
