INDIVIDUAL PEER SUPPORT SESSIONS

We want to ensure that every grieving child, teen, adult and family has the opportunity to share their feelings, thoughts and story in a safer, non-judgmental space. For some, group settings might not be the best option, therefore we also offer individual peer support sessions where you can talk to someone individually.

INDIVIDUAL PEER SUPPORT SESSIONS
("One-to-One's")

We recommend you visit our FAQ page for more detailed information.

 

We are pleased to offer free one-to-one sessions for individuals aged 18 and above, with a maximum of 8, 30-minute sessions available. For those aged 6 to 17, we provide up to 12, 30-minute one-to-one sessions. Unfortunately, we do not offer support for children below the age of 6.

​

At our organization, members have the option to select either session-limited one-to-one support or ongoing/unlimited access to group support sessions. After completing one option, members can decide if they would like to explore the other. As a charity with limited resources, we strive to provide the best support we can within our capacity.

​

Please keep in mind that our services are based on peer support rather than counseling or therapy. Peer support involves the emotional and practical support shared between individuals who have experienced similar losses, such as the death of a loved one. Our peer support workers are not certified counselors or therapists. For more information, kindly refer to our FAQ section on our website.

Getting support is quick, free, and accessible.

 

To get started, please fill out our intake form and a team member will contact you within 10 business days to set up an initial individual peer support session.

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.
