Support Grief at Work

Train a Peer Grief Support Rep in Your Organisation

Grief Doesn’t Clock off at Work

Most workplaces offer EAPs — but only 5–10% of employees ever use them, and even fewer after a loss.

Why? Because when you’re grieving, calling a stranger can feel like another mountain to climb.

 

What people want in those moments isn’t a brochure.

They want a person.

Someone they know.

  • 55 in 1000 employees will lose someone close this year

  • 14 will silently struggle to perform

  • Over 30 will carry emotional exhaustion for months

  • 25+ will leave, taking their loyalty and experience with them

We don’t talk about that in HR. But we should.
Because grief is a workplace issue — and it’s time we treated it like one.

When grief isn’t supported at work, people don’t just struggle — they leave.

Introducing the Peer Grief Support Rep Program

A practical, in-person training that helps your team show up for one another when it matters most.

Here’s how it works:
✅ Train your leaders and staff in grief literacy
✅ Nominate 1–2 Peer Reps (like a fire warden, but for grief)
✅ Learn how to respond without overstepping, and listen without fixing
✅ Create a culture where no one has to grieve alone at work

“This isn’t therapy. It’s human-first support — built from my lived experience with tragedy and grief, backed by research, and grounded in care.”

Rob Saunders

This program helps your organisation

  • Increase retention

  • Build psychological safety

  • Strengthen team connection

  • Meet psychosocial risk obligations under Safe Work Australia

It’s available for schools, organisations, healthcare providers and community teams — starting with in-person delivery (for now).

Every program also funds our Still Billie Boxes for a bereaved family suffering the loss of a baby — because grief support starts at work and at home.
