On Saturday 28th October, Brisbane Legacy ran its first Feel the Magic Day Camp.
Feel the Magic is an Australian charity providing early intervention grief education programs for kids aged 7 to 18, who are experiencing pain and isolation due to the death of a parent, guardian, or sibling. Their aim is to create a community where grieving kids and their families feel supported, empowered, and can begin to move forward with their lives.
At Feel the Magic, there is a range of face to face and virtual camps, so they can help grieving kids heal – no matter where they are.
For Brisbane Legacy, we chose to start the journey with a Day Camp where attendees could:
- Learn about the psychology behind childhood grief
- Help to develop a stronger family unit so you can move forward together
- Connect with other families grieving the loss of a loved one
- Take some time for self-care
There were also some additional activities such as a cultural weaving workshop, a Fun Eco Walk and of course food and yummy goodies.
Held at the Eco Centre of Griffith University and co-funded by the RSL our families had a really fantastic day.
Have a look at the video below to gain an insight into the activities undertaken.
