Our Story
The Stephen Moylan Foundation was founded in 2022 by the Moylan family after the sudden death of Stephen Moylan in 2019, at age 30. In searching for support for Stephen’s young children, the family found no bereavement services available locally. Motivated by this gap and drawing on their backgrounds in psychotherapy, counselling, and youth work they created the Foundation to support children grieving the loss of a parent.
The Foundation now serves nationwide, offering direct support, raising awareness about parental bereavement, and advocating for improved public services and policy. Its goal is to ensure no child faces the loss of a parent alone.
