Our Closed Grief Support Groups are facilitated by the same facilitators for 6, 8, or 12 weeks, depending on the group. We ask for those interested to commit fully to each week for healthy group cohesion and establishing strong connections. These groups run throughout the year and are based on demand and/or gaps within the community. Closed groups provide individuals with an opportunity to share their loss and grief with others who have also experienced a similar loss or share a similar identity. Previous groups we've run are: Suicide Loss, Overdose Loss, COVID-19 Loss, Child Loss, Seniors Support, Newcomer Support, and more.

Common topics include Coping Strategies; Holidays & Events; Grief Timelines; Feelings of Guilt & Sadness; Other Life Changes and more.
