NALAG
Telephone Grief Support Branch - Sydney
Information, Education, Awareness & Support
In 1981
Dr Paul Finlayson, community psychiatrist, held a series
of seminars at Hornsby & Ku-ring-gai Hospital. These
seminars identified the need for ongoing support for
people who are grieving. While there is often support
and concern for people at the time of their loss, many
continue to feel the need for someone to turn to, months
or even years later.
NALAG
Telephone Grief Support is a Sydney based telephone
support service operated by trained volunteers who
provide a listening ear for those wishing to talk about
the losses they have experienced. All calls are
confidential and anonymous. Where appropriate, callers
are referred to community services and agencies.
