DRUMBEAT
DRUMBEAT stands for Discovering Relationships Using Music, Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes and Thoughts.
For children aged 8 and above, this program (designed by Holyoake) is a structured learning program which uses music, psychology and neurobiology to help participants connect with themselves and with others.
Our next DRUMBEAT day is scheduled for Friday 17th of April 2026, 8:30am to 3pm.
Registrations are now open!
Come drum with us!
For our little Lionhearts, DRUMBEAT is a chance to connect again after attending a previous Lionheart camp and it offers an opportunity for them to extend their understanding of their own grief response as well as exploring other areas related to adjusting to their new world following the death of a loved one.
Lionheart offers peer support groups for grieving children aged 7 to 12 years who have experienced the death of someone important in their life.
