Who We Are

As a small but dedicated team, deeply supported by volunteers, we are a registered charity providing free, compassionate, and inclusive peer support for those grieving the death of a loved one or someone in their life. We believe in the power of community, connection, and accessible support for all. 

We are the bereaved, supporting one another as we learn to carry, grow with, and thrive in our grief.

How We Can Help

Grief is personal, and no two experiences are the same. That’s why we offer different types of support to help you navigate loss in a way that feels right for you. All of our supports are completely free.

Using Laptop at Home
One-on-One Support

A private way to share your grief with someone who understands, from the comfort of your own space. These peer support sessions are available for a limited number of sessions, structured or unstructured, based on your needs.

Peer Support Groups

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We want to acknowledge the land on which we gather, and where the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-H/P) operates. This land has been and is still inhabited by many Indigenous Peoples since the last Ice Age which was 13,000 years ago. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek-Ojibway/Chippewa, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land that is home to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to now be on the land that is the land of Indigenous Peoples since time began.

​

The land we are presently on is under the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit, who are the signatories of the treaty and holders of the area. We recognize that the land we are on was taken away through colonization, oppression, and expropriation. In the hopes for a better future and building relationships, we recognize, require, and honour what is in the truth and reconciliation report and the calls to action. We acknowledge and are grateful for having the privilege of being where we are, for this land, and for the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to inhabit this land.

 

This Land Acknowledgment was created in collaboration with Indigenous Elder, Cat Criger.
