Penthos is now accepting referrals of couples who have lost a pregnancy, adolescent, young or adult child, or experienced a stillbirth or unsuccessful IVF and meet the criteria for suffering unresolved grief.

While resources exist to support individuals soon after a loss, often grief may be experienced as prolonged and to date, there is little publicly available specialised treatment provision available to couples.

Penthos’ free 16-week psychotherapeutic couple intervention will be provided by specially trained and experienced health professionals (psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, and couple therapists) from their consulting rooms located across the inner Sydney metropolitan region. If patients live out of Sydney and cannot visit the rooms of the current list of therapists then they can access therapy using personal video calls.

The full cost of the program will be provided by Penthos and there will be no charge to couples for the therapy.

If you wish to refer patients or have further questions, please contact us at admin@penthos.org.au or call us at 0416 341 005.
