Mental Health - Child & Youth and Youth Services
Provided by Learning Through Loss
Various support programs for youth and young adults experiencing grief and loss.
Workshops and programs to support youth and young adults, arming them with tools and skills they can use to manage their grief and loss in healthy ways. The following services are offered:
- Peer Support Group Program: An eight-week, sixteen hour peer support group that provides a safe place for youth who have been impacted by significant loss or change to find the support and resources to help navigate and manage their grief. The group allows youth to connect with their peers, gain invaluable life skills support, and find strength and hope in their capacity to survive, adapt and move through their loss. Registration required.
- Short-Term Grief Counselling: Virtual support is provided by registered clinical counsellors and available to eligible youth and young adults between the ages of 13-24 by referral. Older youth can self-refer. Counselling provides one on one support to youth experiencing grief and loss who can benefit from individual counselling. Sessions are conducted according to the preference of the youth. Referral Required.
- Workshops: Interactive workshops that support school districts in providing grief education to children and youth by opening up the conversation on what grief is, what it feels like and how it can impact so much.
