Description of Services:

Children and teens experience grief and loss in many different ways. A team of clinicians, in the field of Social Works and Spiritual Care Bereavement, offer both 1:1 supportive counselling and support groups for children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one. Supports are individualized to each young person, and techniques used that resonate with these age groups

Art and Music Therapy is often used with young clients, as they offer an alternative means of exploring and expressing thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to verbalize
