Join us as we dive deep with Kristy and James Thomas, the compassionate founders of 'Feel the Magic,' an organisation dedicated to helping grieving children across Australia. Their journey began from personal losses and has blossomed into a nationwide initiative that offers solace and healing through unique camps and programs. Here's what we covered:
The Birth of Feel the Magic: Hear how a personal tragedy led to the creation of a beacon of hope for grieving children.
The Magic of Grief Camps: Explore the transformative experiences these camps offer, combining emotional support with empowering activities.
Grieving as a Community: Learn about the community's role in supporting bereaved children and the innovative ways 'Feel the Magic' brings people together.
Key Points from Our Conversation:
- Understanding Grief: Kristy and James share insights into how grief can become a catalyst for growth and community building.
- The Role of Camps: Details on how their camps provide a safe space for children to express their grief and learn coping mechanisms.
- Expanding Support: The introduction of virtual programs to reach grieving children in remote areas, ensuring no child grieves alone.
