Important Notes
MEETING LOCATION: The Geeveston Community Centre (known locally as GeCo) is on the Dover end of ‘School Road’ and is easy to find. Mostly, these gatherings will be held in The Annexe Building (Which is located behind the main house). Occasionally, they will be held in the main house.
Please look for the signs pointing to the meeting locations.
March Adjustment: The Grief & Loss Support Group will be held on the 2nd Saturday of March (8th March) instead of the usual 1st Saturday due to a large event in Cygnet.
Ongoing Schedule: Moving forward, we aim to keep these sessions on the same week of the month and at the same times. However, we understand some participants may have travel or scheduling constraints.
At our first session, we will discuss any necessary adjustments and explore flexibility around start times.
🚫🚫 NO GROUPS WILL RUN IN JULY 2025.🚫🚫
💙 We look forward to welcoming you to these supportive, community-focused gatherings! 💙
Support Group Explanations
1. Grief & Loss (Recent Bereavement)
A dedicated space for those processing the raw emotions of recent bereavement. Share your journey, find solace, and connect with others who understand the profound impact of loss. This group is for any type of recent bereavement - all welcome.
2. Life-Altering Pain, Illness, or Difficult Diagnosis
For adults facing major diagnoses, chronic illness, or pain - this group offers support, shared experiences, and resources to build resilience and hope. Here, you can honestly share your experiences with others who truly relate, without feeling the need to justify or stay strong. All emotions are welcomed in this supportive and understanding space.
3. Navigating Life’s Unexpected Paths - Coping with Life’s Changes
Life is full of transitions, and this group is here to help you navigate them with confidence and support. Whether you’re adjusting to an empty nest, going through menopause, facing redundancy or retirement, going through a separation, or preparing to re-enter the workforce after a long break, this safe space offers understanding, shared experiences, and practical tools to embrace life’s changes and become comfortable with your new identity.
4. For All of the Carers
A support group for carers of loved ones with health challenges. A safe and compassionate place for you to share experiences, access tools, and connect with others who understand caregiving demands—regardless of if this is for a short-term diagnosis or a long-term health concern. This is a space where you can share honestly about your experiences and be heard without judgments.
