We’re here to make a difference for people experiencing bereavement or loss. Everyone’s journey is different, so we’d love to hear more about yours.
Griefity has commissioned a survey to find out more about people’s experiences of grief support.
We’re looking to hear from people who would be comfortable sharing their experiences of the support they received following grief or bereavement.
While we are based in New Zealand and Australia, we’d like to hear from people of all ages, in all countries.
About the survey
The Grief Support survey seeks to gather insights about grief support from people who have experienced grief and/or loss and are willing to share their experience of finding support during this time.
By sharing their perspectives, people contribute to a better understanding of the overall grief support journey.
The survey will provide valuable insights that can inform the development of effective grief support resources and services.
Approach
The study is being facilitated by our founder and senior Experience Researcher, Corinne Davies. Responses are provided in survey format and can be given anonymously.
There is also the option for people to opt-in to a 45 minute interview to provide further context. We are offering a NZD$40 (USD$25) gift card as a thank you for those that take part in an interview.
All personal information and personally identifiable information will be removed and a summary of findings made available to all participants and contributing organisations.
