Loss and Grief Workshop – Cooktown

Grief touches everyone at some point, whether through the death of a loved one, a major life change, or supporting someone else through their own loss. This free, community based workshop is designed to help you build a genuine understanding of loss and grief, and to walk away with practical strategies and resources you can use straight away.

CORES™ Queensland (Community Owned Response to Eliminating Suicide) delivers this workshop as part of its work supporting communities across Far North Queensland.

You’ll explore

  • What grief looks and feels like, and why everyone experiences it differently
  • Common myths about grief and why they can get in the way of healing
  • Practical ways to support yourself through loss
  • How to support family, friends or community members who are grieving
  • Where to find further help and resources when needed

This session is open to everyone, whether you’re processing your own grief, supporting someone close to you, or working in a role where you regularly encounter loss and bereavement.
