Bereaved by the death of a young person

Griffith University is conducting a study to help understand the grieving process in people who have lost a young person they love.

If you have lost a brother, sister or child, they would like to invite you to participate in an online survey about your loved one’s death and how if has affected you and your family.

Participants must be at least 18 years of age, and have lost a brother, sister or child 20 years or younger, in the past 10 years. The aim of this study is to learn more about the grieving process and its impact on families and their relationships.

We hope information gained will help develop better treatment and support for families who suffer this terrible loss.

For further information, or to participate in this study, please contact Liz Adams on 0402692755 or via email at: elizabeth.adams@griffithuni.edu.au for a link to an online survey or to make an appointment for a private interview.
