Youth Bereavement SupporT
Grief is hard, finding support shouldn’t be
Our Youth Bereavement Support Program offers compassionate, age-appropriate care for young people ages 13–25 who are coping with the loss of someone important to them. We also offer anticipatory grief services. Our services are free, confidential, convenient, and inclusive, welcoming individuals from all cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds. All programs are conducted by trained grief and bereavement social workers.
Grief and Bereavement Services
• Individual counselling: The program offers individual counselling in a safe and welcoming space, allowing young people to explore their emotions, build coping skills, and navigate the unique challenges of grief.
• Bereavement groups: Peer support groups are available, giving young people the chance to connect with others who have experienced similar losses, share their stories, and build a sense of understanding and community.
Together, these services promote healing, resilience, and emotional well-being during an especially difficult time for young people.
