Matika - a bereavement support programme for tamariki
Matika provides an opportunity for children who have experienced the death of someone close to them to connect with others in their own age group, who have or are experiencing a similar loss. Together, the children learn about the big emotions of grief, ways to cope with the loss and ways they can continue to feel close to the person who has died.
