Organisation Summary

At Red Tree Foundation: SIDS & Kids SA, we stand beside families in their darkest moments, providing free, specialist grief and loss support for those who have lost a baby or child, suddenly and unexpectedly, from conception to 17years. Every year, we support hundreds of bereaved parents and their families, offering compassionate counselling, peer support, and evidence-based safe sleep education.

We are the only South Australian grief and loss specialist service offering in person, face to face, counselling support to bereaved parents in their home and in our counselling rooms. We also offer telehealth and phone support. Our Masters level trained counsellors are specialists in the field of grief and loss and provide empathetic, supportive counselling.

Our mission is to provide education, training and information about grief and loss to foster a more compassionate, empathetic, and educated community and to empower the community to make informed safe sleep decisions for infants in their care.

Our work is critical. Grief doesn’t just affect families; it ripples through communities, workplaces, and society. By investing in our programs, you’re ensuring that no family walks this path alone and that life-saving education reaches those who need it most. We provide Safe Sleep training to child care centres, parents, grandparents and the community. In addition, we provide workplaces with grief and loss training to support their employees that suffer a loss.
Together, we can make a profound difference, honouring little lost lives, supporting healing, and creating a future where fewer families endure this heartbreak.
