They leave behind a trail of heartbreak, experienced by the family members left behind and the thousands of affected children that are impacted throughout their entire lives.
As a child, Acacia Connections’ founder, Greg Kentish, was told the story of how his father lived the majority of his life without his own father after he was killed in WWII. Greg was greatly affected by the heartbreak and lifelong impact his father experienced due to losing his dad at the tender age of six.
Greg Kentish truly believes helping people with the highest-quality Employee Assistance Program in Australia will help to save the many spouses, partners, and children from losing their parents and the deep, multigenerational impact that carries on from this sudden death.
Greg is inspired by his grandfather’s tenacity, generous heart, and pure desire to help those in need as a life-long calling, something Greg continues each day.
On the 19th of February 1943, Len Kentish, only 35 years old, was murdered by his Japanese captors in a unique and tragic war story rarely known in Australia. Len was the only Australian civilian captured and killed as a Japanese POW from Australian waters in Darwin during WWII.
Len’s murder left his family with a widow at 38 years old and three children – aged eight, six, and two – without a father for the rest of their lives. This had an incredible effect on this family then and still does today.
Our parent company, Acacia Connections was established to be a high-quality provider of support in the workplace and later on, into the community sector when Acacia Psychology was established. The symbolism of our name and logo supports our mission.
The acacia tree is known as the ‘perfect’ tree that symbolises the revival of life. Its uniqueness is found in its bark that has been used as a medicine. This tree is highly drought resilient and provides shelter and a safe place. The acacia tree enriches its surroundings by fertilising the ground with leaf litter and blooming spectacular yellow flowers. These yellow flowers represent optimism, enlightenment and happiness. They encourage communication and carry the promise of a positive future.
Connection, as our name describes, is what we do. Connection is the core of our business and we value each individual because every connection matters. We pride ourselves in our ability to connect people with people from all walks of life, histories and backgrounds, whenever and wherever the support may be needed. At Acacia Psychology, Every Connection Matters.
