HEAL

Recognise the losses people carry, including those that are less visible or rarely acknowledged.
What Guides Us
Grief is a universal experience, but we do not always know how to talk about it or support someone living with loss. Our work creates opportunities to listen, learn and respond with care.
GIDII - pronounced gidd - ee

Documentary Film & Storytelling
Shattered
When work changes a life, what happens next? A four-part documentary series exploring life after workplace injury: the care people need, the systems they enter, and the consequences for families, identity and belonging. Through lived experience and expert perspectives, Shattered invites a shared conversation about recovery and responsibility.

Call the Doula
Grief is not a marginal issue. We cannot afford to ignore its impact on physical and mental health, identity, relationships and working life. Loss touches us all, yet too often we lack the language and skills to support ourselves and one another. A feature documentary in development, Call the Doula explores grief and loss across a lifetime. We invite philanthropic supporters to partner with us to bring this new documentary to the screen and help open a wider conversation about grief.
Honouring life. Understanding loss.
Building connection.
​
Grief and loss are part of being human. They can follow a death, a change in health, work or relationships—or the loss of a future we imagined. GIDII brings together memorial services and celebrations of life, grief education and documentary storytelling. Through this work, Kathie Melocco helps people honour lives, speak more openly about loss and support one another with understanding and care.
