Sad news - in remembrance of Anna Kouloubos
5th June 2021
The Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria, Inc. (ADAVIC) is deeply saddened by the sudden but peaceful passing of its Founder and Managing Director, Anna Kouloubos, due to illness on Sunday 30th May 2021.
The ADAVIC Committee, on behalf of our team of staff and volunteers, sends our deepest sympathies to the Kouloubos family and Anna’s loved ones during this difficult time.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Anna and recognise her tireless efforts and contributions to the Community for more than 25 years. We were constantly amazed by her generosity and spirit of giving which she demonstrated in the help and support she provided for others, day after day, week after week, year after year.
For those who had the privilege of knowing Anna, you know she was the heart and soul of our organisation and we respectfully ask for your patience as we work through these trying circumstances.
During this sad and difficult time we encourage you to reach out to your support networks and practice self-care. If you require additional support, our wonderful Facebook Support Service team is available as usual. Additionally, there are other professional support options such as GriefLine (PH 1300 845 745) or BeyondBlue (PH 1300 224 636) if you feel you could benefit from some support.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a small and private funeral will be arranged. When it is safe and the circumstances allow, a public wake will be organised so that we can celebrate her life together.
In lieu of flowers, as an ode to Anna and her work, you may wish to consider making a donation to a charity or organisation close to your heart.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Stay safe and be kind to yourself,
ADAVIC Committee
