Friends of Living and Learning Through Loss

Our Mission

Learning Loss Group Program In this program the clinical counsellor uses proven curriculum to create an open, supportive environment that promotes individual sharing of ideas and feelings regarding issues of death and loss. Goals are to develop an understanding and awareness of normal grief reactions; identify and enhance specific coping skills and tasks to help deal with grief and loss; and develop a more positive attitude and approach to everyday living.

Good Grief Workshop The facilitator opens dialogue with youth in middle and high schools about loss and the process of grief that follows. Topics include: different reactions one may have to loss; how to recognize grief in self and others; how to express one’s feelings and grief; and common coping skills and strategies for healing.

Community Education Workshop This workshop provides individuals who work with and support youth an opportunity to explore the topic of teen grief and how to support healthy coping and healing.
