Welcome to the National Centre for Childhood Grief

The National Centre for Childhood Grief (NCCG) provides loving support in a safe place, where children grieving a death can share their experience, as they learn to live with its impact on their lives.

The NCCG was founded in 1994 by Mal and Di McKissock, OAM, who are both internationally recognised for their expertise in the specialist field of childhood bereavement.

The centre also provides education and training for individuals, schools and other organisations handling the grief of children and young people.

The NCCG is a not-for-profit charity which operates at ‘A Friend’s Place’ in Sydney, Australia.
