Our final 8-Week Traumatic Loss Support Group of the year begins October 7th.

🗓 Wednesdays | 6:30–8:00 PM
October 7 – November 25
💻 Virtual via Zoom

This open, time-limited group offers a safe, supportive, and understanding space for individuals grieving a traumatic death, including loss through su***de, homicide, overdose/substance use, motor vehicle or other serious accidents, natural disasters, and other traumatic circumstances.

Grief after a traumatic loss can feel especially isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Connect with others who have experienced similar losses and find space for understanding, validation, and support.

Thanks to the generous support of the Region of Peel CARE Program, this group is offered free of charge to the community. The program is open to all, with priority given to Ontario Works clients in Peel.

Please note: Priority registration will be given to individuals who have not previously attended one of our Traumatic Loss Groups.

📌 Registration opens Monday, October 5 at 9:00 AM and closes at 4:00 PM on the day of each group.

To participate, please complete an intake form on our website, followed by a consent form and brief group information call.

If you have already completed these steps, you may register beginning October 5 by emailing [email protected].
