Traumatic Loss Grief Support

Have you lost someone close to you through suicide, drug use, or violence?

The Traumatic Loss Support Program is a structured 8-week program for adults who have experienced the loss of a loved one by suicide, violence or drug use.  Being with others who have experienced a traumatic loss has been proven to break isolation, offer hope and create long-term networks of support. This program provides a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment. Participants will learn about traumatic grief and be given essential grief survival tools to integrate into their daily lives.  This group begins each week with a check-in and is followed by educational components, discussions and activities related to the traumatic loss of a loved one.

Who can participate?

The program is open to adults who have experienced the traumatic death of a loved one and are registered Hospice clients. Participants have met with a Hospice counsellor to access the most appropriate services for them and then may be referred to this program.

When and Where does the group meet?  Fall dates coming soon!

Please call 250-591-8811 or visit our office at 1080 St. George Crescent – Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm.
