Nine Pillars Competitors

Dads Grieve Too Losing a child at any time is one of the most painful and devastating experiences that someone can go through. Sadly, so many men, once excited at the prospect of being a dad, many for the first time, never get to experience this joy. Pillars of Strength has a number of programmes to help dads. We are bringing bereaved dads together in situations where they can experience some sense of normality - hanging out with their mates and doing things that men do. In doing so, we are building communities where men help men. Our programmes currently include tickets to sporting events - you must take a family member or mate along; and events managed by Pillars of Strength for dads to meet other dads and their mates. We are building new programmes: tickets to a wide range of other sporting and non-sporting events; regular meet-ups for Pillars of Strength dads and mates; time-out courses for dads and their mates to learn new skills; Pillars of Strength sporting teams; and volunteering programmes for dads who want to help us build Pillars of Strength into a national programme. The Time Out programme is exactly what it sounds like - it gives dads their own time to reconnect with their network of mates without actually having to ask for help - instead as an example, they just ask if they want to go to the footy... It can also allow dads to meet a peer support network of dads and their mates who have been through a similar situation. This shows him is a very real way that he is not alone. A dad who has this time out can reflect, reenergise and refocus - he can get back to being the Pillar of Strength his family needs him to be. He is also reconnected with his support network – the people around him who have always been there but may not have been able to engage him.

At Cornerstone Consulting we deliver all of these benefits as part of our CFO service and we also wrap all the tax and advisory services in as well. The synergy you get as a client is that everything is taken care of and we as an advisor can also offer strategic help where it wasn't possible before. The beauty of all this from our experience is that it actually costs you less than what you have in place already. When we started this service we were surprised that a fully integrated CFO Service was going to cost less for out clients but we've proved it's easy.
