Bek Brown
For 20 years I have worked in education and wellbeing. I have been a Pastoral Care Worker, a Counsellor and Wellbeing Leader in schools and am also a registered teacher. Currently I am a Spiritual Care Chaplain at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
After the death of my dad in 2014 and brother in 2020, I became acutely aware of how inadequately we process death and grief within our society. With my background in counselling, wellbeing and chaplaincy, I wanted to find ways to normalise our experiences with grief and help support people who are grieving. I went searching for face to face support and found very little so I created a 'Retreat for Grieving Hearts' and am excited to offer a ‘Recharge Day for Health Professionals’ and those who work with people in End-of-Life Care. This is such important work and it’s critical that those working in this field are supported.
